I know I've used the Unix "mail" program as early as the summer of 1980, but unfortunately I have no saved mail from back then. Of course, this was not networked e-mail, just user to user on the same mini computer. My earliest saved e-mail is from Nov 15, 1989, sent via UUCP. So Dan has me beat by almost 3 years.

Well I thought I could but the oldest email in my current mail directories is Oct 1, 1987 so Dan has got me beat. But Kevin's suggestion prompted me to scan my home directory and I did find a saved email thread from my UofM days dated 7 May, 1996 to Gerry Miller. I do have the old MBnet accounting records so if anyone is interested I can tell you when you registered for MBnet. For example: Mike Pfaiffer 95/01/12 -- Bill On 16/09/10 11:08, Kevin McGregor wrote:

Do archived BBS postings count in this contest? Most of us regular folks didn't get email until MBNet so no chance!

Well John you registered on MBnet 94/04/29 so if you have nay mail from those days ..... I think UUCPNET mail may count since it often would go over the Internet at some point. -- Bill On 16/09/10 13:29, john@johnlange.ca wrote:

:) I was thinking that oldest BBS post would probably be a contest unto it's own. But if you have the info, I'm sure it still be interesting to read what you find. -Montana On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 1:29 PM, <john@johnlange.ca> wrote:

I had a couple of Comp Sci accounts older than that. I graduated from the U of M in 91 and the U of W in 84. Before that I was BBSing with a 300 baud modem on my Apple ][+. Ascii Express, ProTerm, and Kermit... Man that takes me back... Later Mike
