I don't think e-mail is "rude"-- but I do believe you make a bigger impact and better impression with a hand-written letter.
Compare it to the job scene. I'm now in the position where I hire people. I get a lot of resumes and inquiries via e-mail. However, it is the snail mail resumes I pay the most attention to. It shows the person made a special effort to print it, get an envelope, address it, lick a stamp, and put it in a mail box. The person shows me he or she will "go the extra mile."
The person who writes me a hand-written thank you note after the interview also has a leg up on everyone else. You'd be surprised how few people take that very basic step in courtesy.
Maybe another good comparison would be a birthday card. I HATE getting e-cards. But, I do enjoy the old Hallmark in the mail.
