> My question has to do with email messages. I know it states 'not part of software', but does this mean email messages reposted to sites, social media or third-party (outside of email clients)? Can anyone clarify this?

Lainey, if the email is posted to the web (Internet or Intranet) or falls under the public facing or official agency content categories described in Section E205 then it would be covered. Social media sites are covered -- although if the social media site is not compliant the same information would need to be posted in a conformant location such as the agencies website.
