Interesting question :)

http://list-lingo.com ran a poll -

What is the correct spelling of the word 'email'?
email 34.2%
e-mail 26.1%
E-mail 15.3%
E-Mail 14.4%
Email 9.9%

Wired.com had a huge debate -

I tend to refer to it as just 'mail' (eg "mail me that document over")
and everyone knows what I mean. But maybe that's just because I'm a
geek?
