Quite funny to see words 'computer mail' in that post. I've not seen it before. I wonder how long exist word 'email'.

Or for that matter, how long before the improper pluralization resulted in (gag) "emails". Bleh. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

I don't know how long email has existed as a word, but I know when I started to use it. It was in 1997 after I read what Knuth had to say on the subject of email. (At that point it was decidedly odd to see email instead of e-mail.)	[reply]
