Stick, you're probably aware that l'Académie française frowned on "e-mail" in 2003 and adopted the québécois neologism "courriel" (from "Courrier électronique"). Apparently most in France use "email" or "e-mail" but "courriel" is widely used in Québec. Intones the governent of Québec: "Le terme anglais e-mail et la forme raccourcie mail sont bien sûr à éviter en français."
I'll bet you don't "clavardage" on-line much, either, as you delete the "pourriel" and "courriel d'hameçonnage" from your e-email "boîte de réception."
