Ok, done in r101303. The name "Email" works anyway since it is the En alias,
too. The main name in German now is E-Mail. For English, we follow to Knuth's
argument that the hyphen is entirely unnecessary and cumbersome,
http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/email.html (bottom). The same holds
true for German, but, alas, German language is governed not by reason but by a
central authority that declares that "E-Mail" is "frequently misspelled"
instead of admitting that the writing "email" is just as popular (but what do
the people know about their language anyway?!).
