Life for most of the business world is moving at least at the speed of email. It was this way pre COVID-19 and is so especially now as many people hone in their remote work skills. Studies have shown that a majority of business people prefer to communicate via email. In 2019, it was estimated that over 293 billion business and consumer emails were sent and received
per day.
An email message intentionally sent represents a person's thoughts, intentions and responses in written, recordable form - possibly surviving longer than some words "written in stone." In short, email is largely how business communication is accomplished. Naturally, we expect business deals made via email to be honored and enforceable. A recent case in Mississippi, however, highlights that a perceived offer and acceptance via email does not necessarily create an enforceable contract.
