FWIW, I asked the same question when I saw a recent post. MS Manual of
style 2nd Edition V3 requires the hypen, as does every style guide
that I've used over the last five or six years. That said, I see an
increasing incidence of "email" in informal correspondence and I
suspect that it's only a matter of time before that becomes the
preferred version <g>
