    The mind in your past has ceased to exist. The content of that email remains in one mind, it just a different one, by your definition.

    They do need to receive it and read since it has to at the very least enter their minds and ideally they have to think it’s funny/interesting/worth sharing/etc.

      one mind… just a different one

      My point exactly. But ignoring that?

      they have to receive it

      Define recieve, is inbox OK? Is a glance ok? Do they have to understand it? (Is an Italian meme a meme if I don’t speak italian?)

      You were saying the OP wasn’t a meme, but it was recieved by at least you and me, and unknowably countless others.
