In 1983 or 84 while at DEC we did this using the DECtalk system.  In addition, for
a number of people who had very long commutes, we would write their email to 
cassette for them to listen while in their car.  They would record reply's on
cassette and their secretary's would post their responses.

The hardest part was wading through the headers to eliminate the garbage.
