Incorrect. Once authenticated under evidentiary rules, email is perfectly admissible.

Problem with email, is proof of delivery. It is very borderline, and hard to prove a lot of things.
Any attorney, will tell you to send by certified mail, with a return receipt. Just been through this for the past 5 months, when someone was trying to get an easement forced through our pasture. We won, without going to court. His first letter was improperly addressed, and he ended up getting it back about 6 weeks later. An email would not have been satisfactory. Especially with 2 attorneys involved. Some emails were used between us and our attorney, and between the attorneys. But when real notices were given, they were by certified mail or were delivered by a sheriff's deputy a couple of times.
When giving notice such as sending the information to the brokers, with demands, it needs to be done by U.S. Mail with a return receipt. It will be much more of a formal notice, than by email. Email has it's place, but it is not for everything. It is too informal for this type of use. Certified mail with return receipt, gets the attention of the one receiving it. Email does not have the same impact.
