<br>Subject: snail mail
<br>
<br>Snail mail has a worthy antecedent in German Schneckenpost, which has been
<br>around for at least 40 years. To my knowledge, the term refers not to
<br>"normal mail" as opposed to email, but rather to any outrageously slow
<br>means of transportation, e.g. the milk train.
