The retraunaut.com citation didn't produce anything other than a repeat
of the title.  However a search for the slug did produce:

     What The Heck is Electronic Mail? Asks Ad From 1977
     http://contentcatnip.com/2015/07/13/what-the-heck-is-electronic-mail/

Which shows a copy of an ad.  The ad starts with the text:

     "Electronic mail is a term that's been bandied about data
processing circules for years."
