It's very easy to tell an age of the sender by their general business e-mail style. For example, a baby boomer in their greeting, is usually more formal. Because they were traditionally brought up on a typewriter, where you used to type "Dear Mr. So-and-So", you'll see a greeting that incorporates "Dear Ben". Also, in the message itself, they tend to be a bit more formal and structured in their wording and their vocabulary. And then the baby boomer generation's closure is usually something like "Respectfully" or "Sincerely", and they'll sign and type their name out at the end within their general business e-mail style.
