This reminds me a little bit of working in a secure data center (no external network connections from any of the workstations) where the security policy did not allow shell access, but did allow R (disallowing it would have crippled half of the projects using the data center). I didn't go out of my way to tell them about system() ...

I suspect it might be relevant for RStudio, but definitely not for pure R.
On top of that you can just copy R to a flash drive or any accessible
folder. It will work.

Thanks, Ivan. Exactly my reaction.

And as a Turing complete language, R allows one to do anything in R --
including writing an email package that does email directly from R:
see package emayili .

Indeed, I think one would find it difficult to find *any* software
that does not interact with the internet in some way these days.

Cheers,
Bert

need an email confirming that r does not include any electronic
communication functionality within the program

Could you please provide a definition of electronic communication
functionality? (For example, does download.file() or install.packages()
count as one?)

There may be some documents useful for you at
