This is interesting (even though it is in comp.mail.uucp), since
everyone I know calls it Ess Mail.  It reminds me of Day Ta vs Dah Ta,
or the way Doug Comer says 'XINU' vs the way Ed Gould says it.

In the art world (is a program 'art'?  What is 'art'?), there is a
saying:  Once you release a work, the interpretation is no longer yours,
but belongs to the public.  (Conceptually!  No flames about Copyrights!)

How do you say 'vi'?  'rn'?  'Usenet'?  'rm'?  'mv'?  Should spaf (how do
you say 'gatech'? 'cbosgd'?) put out a Usenet Guide to Pronunciation?

	:-)

Thanks Dave (how do you say 'Brower'?), for a little humor in Usenet.
Things *have* been a bit heavy lately, no?

Is this just your view of the world, or does 'we' mean RTI?   ;-)
