<br>> Whenever that was, the medium was still that much newer, and my sense
<br>> is that "an e-mail" has become well established in the meantime. I
<br>> personally use "an e-mail" probably several times a day.  Is there
<br>> anyone out there who would still find it unnatural?
<br>
<br>Yes.  I hear it occasionally, but it still sounds strange to me.
<br>I would say "Send me e-mail" or "I got e-mail from him" or "I read
<br>it in e-mail."  Never with "an" inserted.
