If only one of the parts of an agreement has signed a written contract, can an e-mail be considered an agreement?


I'm a representative for a tile company. I've been using e-mail communication to deal with a possible new agent in the area of California. He signed a written contract, but we decided to make some amendments and we haven't signed yet, so there's no writtenn contract signed by both parts.He says he can legally use our e-mails as a contract and wants my company to pay him for the last 2 months.Our e-mails were just proposals and talking about details of the agreement.Can he really use our e-mails (mine as a representative,not the company,and his) as a legal contract?
