to hypenate or not or both

Apparently some prescriptivists all calling for a standardization of either "e-mail" or "email", and not both. Have they got nothing better to think on? Why should it matter which we use, or why can't we standardize both?

I highly doubt that any attempts to standardize that word will succeed.

Why, especially?
