                        Germany is slandered to have sent none to this
                        war [the Crusades] at this first voyage; and that
                        other pilgrims, passing through that country,
                        were mocked by the Dutch, and called fools for
                        their pains.                                 --Fuller.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   d8Equisetum \[d8]Eq`ui*se"tum\, n.; pl. {Equiseta}. [L., the

               {scouring rush}.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   email /ee'mayl/   (also written `e-mail' and `E-mail') 1. n.
   Electronic mail automatically passed through computer networks
   and/or via modems over common-carrier lines.   Contrast {snail-mail},
   {paper-net}, {voice-net}.   See {network address}.   2. vt. To send
   electronic mail.
  
      Oddly enough, the word `emailed' is actually listed in the OED;
   it means "embossed (with a raised pattern) or perh. arranged in a
   net or open work".   A use from 1480 is given. The word is probably
   derived from French `e'maille'' (enameled) and related to Old French
   `emmailleu"re' (network).   A French correspondent tells us that in
   modern French, `email' is a hard enamel obtained by heating special
   paints in a furnace; an `emailleur' (no final e) is a craftsman who
   makes email (he generally paints some objects (like, say, jewelry)
   and cooks them in a furnace).
  
      There are numerous spelling variants of this word.   In Internet
   traffic up to 1995, `email' predominates, `e-mail' runs a
   not-too-distant second, and `E-mail' and `Email' are a distant third
   and fourth.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:

      Programmer", D.   Sannella, Proc 3rd BCS/FACS Workshop on
