Can e-mail seal a sales deal?

Judge says yes, refuses to dismiss lawsuit claiming breach of contract

By Nikoletta Banushi, Globe Correspondent, 3/16/2002

Buyers beware, and sellers, too ­ especially if you communicate with each
other by e-mail. 

A pretrial decision by a judge in a dispute over a multimillion-dollar home
in Marion could end up making real estate deals outlined in e-mail as
binding as those put on paper.
