Jan. 23 is written as 1.23, and read as ii (1) fumi(23) in Japanese pun. Ii fumi is written in Japanese as いい文= good letter or E文=E-mail. Therefore Japan Electronic Messaging Association (then) decided Jan. 23 as denshi meru no hi (電子メールの日)Day of E-mail in 1994.
I did not know about the Day of E-mail at all, and I knew it by newspaper today.
I do not remember when I started using e-mail, but I have used e-mail since 1996 when I was at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington for sure. Since then E-mail has been very important means of communication for me. However I have been annoyed by SPAM or junk mails too. How about you?
In today's news I heard President Obama has been allowed to use Blackberry, and that he is addicted to it.
The 23rd of every month has been known as fumi no hi (ふみの日：Day of Letter) since 1979, and on July 23 (fumizuki fumi no hi) day of letter of month of letter every year commemorative stamps are issued.
