In the article's examples, the e-mail was actually providing the content which was the product (e.g., a list of historical check-ins or communication between a group of angel investors). That's very different from collecting e-mail addresses of people interested in a product that doesn't exist at all.
I don't think something qualifies as a minimum viable product unless it is, in fact, a product.
