What do YOU call e-mail correspondence ?

"Talk" is certainly incorrect.
"Writing" doesn't seem to fit.
"e-mailing" doesn't have the right ring.
"Networking" applies in other areas.

"Flaming" describes a certain kind of correspondence, but I'm looking
for a word that describes civilized discourse.

So _what_, already ?
