Probably would be more helpful if I copy/pasted the proper URL (oops)

Ray Tomlinson

Anyway, there are some folks who credit other people, depending on context, but AFAIK Tomlinson gets it because, among other things, he was the guy who invented the use of the ‘@‘ to separate the user name and computer/domain names. Prior to that, messaging only worked if both the sender and recipient were working on the same computer.
