Was October 25, 2026 the day the first email was sent?
NO
No — Ray Tomlinson sent the first network email in late 1971, not on October 25.
Why
- First ARPANET email sent by Ray Tomlinson in 1971
- Tomlinson never recalled the exact date; often cited as October 1971
- The first message was probably "QWERTYUIOP" to himself
