RE: Dumb question: is it "email", "Email", "e-mail", or "E-mail"

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

Hi Charles,

I agree with you that "email" can be easier for the writer.

Various posters have noted that "e-mail" can be easier for the reader.

Since my job is to make things easier for the reader, I'm sticking with
"e-mail."

Happy Friday,

Dan
