Didn't the Indians use smoke signals?
Also, I believe I
have read that in the middle ages in Europe they used bonfires to signal.

I suspect that signal fires, particularly among the seafaring peoples
go back to prehistoric times. But then, to qualify as email, they'd
have to be ELECTRIC signal fires, no? :)
