Subject: Re: Counting those e-mails



Seems to me, e-mail (E-mail, email) is essentially the same noun as mail.

Isn't it electronic mail vs. snail mail? Unless one defines e-mail as

equivalent to letter, which I don't think is really done. When it's said

as "an e-mail" isn't it really an elipsis of "an e-mail message"?



Think I'll send this off to the Times too.
