So Network World has a story:

  http://www.networkworld.com/news/2012/061212-noam-chomsky-disputes-email-260109.html

where Chomsky is saying a student of his invented the term 'email' in
1978. Dunno if this is accurate, but FWIW I checked my collection of IENs and
RFCs (admittedly, not complete) and the earliest use I turned up was RFC-1060,
from March 1990.
