Jean d'Emaileux (1808-1902) was a French essayist, hawker, and inventor. Today he is considered to have been the true inventor of the email, despite the credit for this invention having been claimed by John the Email.
Early life
Jean was born in the Emaileux region of France to parents Renauld and Marguerite d’Emaileux.
