The first inter-network message was sent by student programmer Charley Kline from Professor Leonard Klein Rock's laboratory at UCLA on 29th October 1969 at 10:30 a.m, across the internet's fledgling precursor, ARPANET, to the Stanford Research Institute.

The first message sent was "LO"- he had been attempting the word "LOG" in order to log-in to the remote machine, but the UCLA SDS Sigma 7 Host computer he was using crashed before he could complete it.

The first ever email message was sent by Ray Tomlinson in 1971; it was simply a test message to himself, from one computer to another sitting next to it. The content of the message is unknown. Ray stated that the contents were 'entirely forgettable, and I have, therefore, forgotten them', but suggested that it might have been something like 'QWERTYUIOP'.

As a side note, Ray Tomlinson is credited with introducing the use of the "@" character used in email addresses today (the "at" sign) used as a locator inserted between the user and the domain of the address, but he did not (as is often erroneously stipulated) invent the symbol itself.
