we get paid the big bucks because we know.....

I would recommend that you point them to Section 87(3)(b) of the Freedom of Information Law that requires:

"All entities shall, provided such entity has reasonable means available, accept requests for records submitted in the form of electronic mail and shall respond to such requests by electronic mail, using forms, to the extent practicable, consistent with the form or forms developed by the committee on open government pursuant to subdivision one of this section and provided that the written requests do not seek a response in some other form."

The agency's policy cannot be more restrictive than the law.
