Hi All,

My brain is befuddled by change. Could someone kindly advise the correct
current practice for referring to Email (email, E-mail, e-mail)... I see
it typed every which way...

Is there a rule for this kind of thing? For example, I've seen
discussion over Internet vs internet, and online Help vs online help....

Thanks!

Deborah
