I would definitely say email is not MMS. MMS is when you type in a number for any of the carriers, not an email address, to send a picture, video, or sound file. That would be easier than trying to know the the carrier email server for all of your friends. Also, it is easier to send the pic (or other multimedia) directly from the capture interface (i.e. camera).
On the flip side, some people are somewhat annoyed that Sprint forces users to use a web browser to see pictures online when using smartphones. Standard phones have pictures delivered directly to the phone using the MMS application.
That is what most users considered MMS.
Sure, MMS is based off of email, so is SMS. But I wouldn't say if you have email you have MMS. More like you have limited MMS or just the ability to email multimedia, not a true Multimedia Messaging Service.
