The spelling of "Email" is another problem. "Email" seems actually
preferred in reports/de but "Email" (beside e-mail and e-Mail) was a
german word long before the net has occoured: enamel ("gloss paint on
metal"). Therefore correct spelling (as suggested by e.g.
http://dict.leo.org/?p=lURE.&search=e-mail) is E-Mail (which is not easy
to type, so people type something like e-Mail, eMail, e-mail (plain
good english) or Email)
The good thing is, Email in the sense of enamel isn't used a lot and
especially not with computers ;-) People who cooks, might have trubble.

PS: google and dict.leo.org want "zu viele" in two words.
