Why? It was not without reason; check out the stats on first-class mail
volume - it's estimated that it's taken a _huge_ hit from email.


On the subject of the term 'email' - I have this vague memory that it came
from outside 'our' community, which would explain why it doesn't appear in
archives. I think we just called it 'mail' or 'network mail'.

I have some very old business cards from MIT/etc which give my email address,
and one labels it 'ARPANet Address', another just 'Net'.
