Yeah, I've been on the internet since 1969!!
I just had to rebuild my Thunderbird email inbox after a problem and these emails dated 12/31/1969 showed up. They contain nothing and have no sender or subject. Seems kind of cool to see them there
I recall seeing a reason why this happens, but can't recall it now.
Yeah, sure was lonely on the 'net back in 1969, of course it was the ARPAnet back then
Actually I think the first emails began around 1971 on the ARPAnet.

It was the early to mid eighties that I began posting on local nets. I forget now what they were called. Bulletin Boards!

Logic would dictate that the very fist email address was....

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
~Samuel Adams
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."
~Thomas Jefferson, 1791
