I predict that the origin will be hard to find--I have no cachet on the
matter, but it seems like AOL (which had a very brief dalliance with)
called it "mail", The WELL (and UUCP, and The Portal) called it mail,
Sperrylink called it mail (or "just messages"), at the University where
I worked through the '90s it was mail, I think.
