Email to me is a type of network transfer, slower than RESTful, but reliable nonetheless.

I agree. What I think makes PBEM marginal as an example of "command-line-only" is that it is designed with email in mind as the interface, and it is only because we have command line access to email that we have command line access to the game. As I noted, though, I still think it counts.
