Bonjour les collègues francophones!

Je voulais vous demander une petite confirmation. Dans la phrase suivante, est-ce que par MAIL on entend COURRIER ELECTRONIQUE?

Le prix, une fois fixé, sera rappelé sur chaque ordre de façon transmis au façonnier par mail au moment de l’envoi de la marchandise.

Merci, ciao

Selected answer:e-mail = courrier électronique
Explanation:
"Mail" n'est jamais utilisé dans le sens de courrier postal. Je pense en effet qu'il s'agit de l'abréviation pour "e-mail".
