Practice question

In a covered Rule 13-A case, counsel sends the pleading from an email address not of record, although it reaches the correct court inbox. Counsel argues that actual inbox delivery alone cures the source-address defect. What does Section 7(f) state?
  1. Any source address is always sufficient.
  2. The transmittal is deemed not received until made using a valid email address of record.
  3. The court must accept it solely because it is readable.
  4. Only the email's subject color matters.
  5. The rule never regulates sending addresses.
