History

The history of e-mail actually begins earlier than time sharing. The military AUTODIN was started in 1958 and IBM's commercial Administrative Terminal System (ATS) was operational on 1962. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 12:37, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article lead

Change '''Electronic mail''' ('''email''' or '''e-mail''') to '''email (short for "electronic mail", alternatively spelled "e-mail", I think that "email" should be listed first as it js the title of the article, most common name for the subject, and used throughout the article.

Unfortunately this is a limitation of Mediawiki. Tule-hog (talk) 03:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfinished merge of Email system

From a search through Email's revision history, it seems the merge of Email system was never completed. It is worth attempting, as email systems are a robust topic of study. Tule-hog (talk) 22:49, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
