Summary: sm-ail -- not Ess Mail.
Xref: watmath comp.sources.d:315 comp.mail.uucp:257

At USENIX, I ran into a number of people talking about installing
something they called, "Ess Mail", two words.  "How quaint," I thought,
and when I told Chris Seiwald, the first author, he chuckled too.

As pronounced in our office, smail rhymes with snail, using the same "sm"
sound in "small smile."

Just thought you'd like to know.
