I think Al's point was that if you write "email" without a
>hyphen, you then should write "epub", "etext", "ezine",
>"enote", "ecafe", "eletter", "efriend", and so on, for
>consistency.
All of these other terms combined aren't used 5% as often as email. If any
of them becomes as commonly used as email, it should be spelled solid too.
