Could you please provide a definition of electronic communication
functionality? (For example, does download.file() or install.packages()
count as one?)

There may be some documents useful for you at

Thanks, Ivan. Exactly my reaction.

And as a Turing complete language, R allows one to do anything in R --
including writing an email package that does email directly from R:
see package emayili .

Indeed, I think one would find it difficult to find *any* software
that does not interact with the internet in some way these days.

Cheers,
Bert
