The german spelling of the english word email is "E-Mail", not "Email"
[1]. This spelling has been used in e.g. "Eine Email wurde an
EMAILADDRESS versandt".
BTW, Email in german means "enamel".

Hi Luke!
Thanks for your feedback about the German translation.
You are of course correct that "E-Mail" seems to be the official
spelling in Germany. Note that I personally still use "Email" because I
believe it is okay to form new words, especially when they are such a
good fit. And the Duden makers do not seem experts on elektronic things
anyway. They authorized "gedownloadet"
http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/downloaden . :)
Anyway, I did not do the translation, nor do I have strong feeling here,
so feel free to prepare a patch against the po file?
Best Regards and thanks again for trying roundup,
Bernhard

description:
Changed a couple of residual email references into e-mail in german
translation per issue2550717
I only had a couple of changes to make. Not I don't speak German, so
this was a grep -i email and finding hits that were not in english text.
It looks like tobias did a pretty good job of cleaning these up
with the 1.5.0 release.
Closing.

I just changed some E-mail to the Duden-correct E-Mail:

summary: E-mail -> E-Mail in de.po (issue2550717)
(and as Bernhard I like and use "Email" or just "Mail" more, even if it
clashes with the same word being used for "enamel", because the context
is almost always very different)
