Pretty un-bloody-likely that “the inventor of email” is helping.

The generally recognized inventor of email wa Ray Tomlinson.

He died in 2016, at age 74.

Heh. From wikipedia, FWIW.

“He is notable for his widely disputed claim to be the “inventor of email”,[4] based on the electronic mail software called “EMAIL”

And:

I’m thinking he’s pretty rich. He’d be better off claiming this.

“In 1994, Ayyadurai founded a company called Millennium Cybernetics, which produces email management software originally called Xiva and now called EchoMail.[2] The software analyzes incoming email messages to organizations before either replying automatically or forwarding it to the most relevant department. By 2001, customers included Kmart, American Express, and Calvin Klein, as well as more than thirty U.S. senators to help handle constituent email. EchoMail competed with more established customer relationship management software that had an email component.[2][21] On its website, EchoMail describes Ayyadurai as the “Inventor of Email”.[22]
