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.
