Email has come a long way in the political realm. But it all goes back to 1994, when former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt sent an email to then US president Bill Clinton. This communication was the first email sent between two heads of state. "There weren’t many connection hubs in Sweden, but we found one in Stockholm," Bildt wrote on Quartz.com. "I managed to send Clinton an email to congratulate him on ending the trade embargo with Vietnam."
