@ dagen borde vara när de första mailet skickades.
Fast vilket datum de var hittar jag inget om.

-------------------------------
The first email was sent in 1971 between two PDP-10 computers in Cambridge (USA) by an engineer Ray Tomlinson, a partner in the development of the first major computer network Arpanet, the precursor of today's Internet.

The first email was addressed by Tomlinson to himself and was supposed to have contained the message Testing 1-2-3 . He was also the first person to use the @ symbol in the email address. Soon, Tomlinson's ideas were generalised and incorporated in the electronic mail software on Arpanet by the end of 1972

Exakt datum verkar ha blivit bortglömt. Vi får väl fira hela oktober, speciellt om två år.

But even though a lot of details of those first mail systems are known, the text of the first message has been lost. Mr Tomlinson sent this historic message to himself from one machine to another sometime in October 1971. He said the text of this first message was "completely forgettable" but suspects it said something like 'qwertyuiop' or 'testing 1-2-3'.
