Well, reading French without accents can be quite difficult and result
in big errors...

Courriel comes from the words courrier and électronique.  I like it much
more than mél but I agree that cédérom and the like are pretty bad.

Same thing for polluriel and pourriel (spam).  Most people use pourriel
but I prefer polluriel so my MS translations use it! 8-)
