e-MAIL. The stress is on the mail part. When your Grandfather sends a letter via post, he doesn't expect it to be his anymore, does he?

No. He bloody well expects what comes through the door with his name on it to be his to do with as he pleases.
That's the other way around. The grandfather is the one receiving the email that he can't print.
I misunderstood the parent. Sorry, and you are right.
