It's just Guidance, and I agree it's compelling (or should that be
"simply quite obvious") that they are emails.
What's not compelling to me is that they are emails over a public
network (which they need to be, to be caught by PECR).
But we are just spinning our wheels here. I think I'll ask the chap who
wrote the relevant section of the Comms Act (containing the definition
of PECN upon which PECR relies) what he thinks! And let you know.
