The law and regulations have not changed substantively during the entire
history of email. The definition has always included "regardless of
physical form or characteristics" -- there has never been, IMHO, a need to
explicitly call out email. This whole. "Oh, I can use my personal email for
official purposes" line of thinking is inherently absurd. Yes, people make
mistakes. Yes, there are situations that arise where it might be absolutely
essential to use a third party email system to communicate something of
urgency via email. But those exceptions were never intended to allow people
to sidestep the official recordkeeping systems.
