Back in the old days when an identifier in source code wasn't allowed
to contain more than six or eight characters or so, often the word
"procedure" would be included in such an identifier by abbreviating it
as PROC, which we pronounced "prock".
It is only natural, therefore, for me to say "prockmail". But I've
heard someone else say "prossmail".
Well, I've never heard of it called prossmail, I've always heard
it called prockmail. Of course it probally doesn't help that everyone
that I talk to about it had never heard of it until I brought it up, and
they heard me call it prockmail. So take that as you will.
