Just so you know, MIT claims to have invented e-mail in 1961, so it was around during Nam. It just wasn't available everywhere. At Air University we were using it in 1970 so we were using it during Nam. And finally, the World Wide Military Command and Control System (WWMCCS) was installed at Major Commands (including PACCOM) in 1972. A large portion of WWMCCS was an e-mail capability, so it was being used by the military during Nam. The closest most of the civilian community had was dial-up bulletin boards where you could post messages for all subscribers to read.
