Common mistakes

I just discovered the following 2 things:

The 'e' in e-mail is always in lower case. At the beginning of a sentence, the M is capitalized, i.e. e-Mail. (There is also always a hyphen)

Online is not one word, but rather a hyphenated version: on-line

Great site which has all details:

Presumably this extends to e-Business, e-Commerce and e-Voting as well. However, I've seen both online and on-line in different contexts. I have no clue which is right though. I think that beyond a point it just doesn't matter, and English will absorb it, regardless.
