SENDMSG was one of the earliest e-mail programs ever developed for a multi-user system running the TENEX operating system. Along with READMAIL, it was the first networked mail system. Ray Tomlinson updated the program in 1971 to allow users of the ARPANET to send messages to one another. It is the precursor to the ubiquitous e-mail systems and software running today in modern computing.
