E-mail is becoming a more popular way to get the word out that it's Samoa season -- a lot quicker than going door-to-door or cubicle-to-cubicle. The Girl Scouts organization says it's fine to cut cookie deals through e-mail to make some dough, as long as the scout helps write the e-mails and doesn't make her mom or dad do all the work.
