Shows no thought and effort... and leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth for the person who I interviewed. Makes me think he or she will be lazy on the job.
If at all possible, I would recommend you follow up your e-mail thank you with a snail mail thank you.

That totally depends on the interviewer and the HR department. I could name at least 5 who I have talked to who DO NOT like to get snail mail thank-you's, for the reasons Rudey noted. A lot of HR and hiring people are extremely busy, and don't want to sit reading thank-you notes or opening cards that will just end up in the trash anyway. A short email can do wonders.
