I'm trying to understand your objection to this name a bit better, but I can't quite agree with the things you've stated as problems. You seem to be arguing for increasing the ambiguity where there really isn't any: 1. That's an email address, not an email. 2. That's a noun-ed verb - context generally makes it obvious when verbs are used rather than nouns. "I can email you" is a shorthand for "I can send an email to you". 3. That's fine - a mail client / server would never confuse these as the body is very obviously a property of most any representation. In the same way that I'm not concerned that my postman has never delivered a fence to me, or written on a bulletin board system, I think we can cope with this name being the appropriately sensible one. Have I misconstrued your argument?
