it depends. for casual email i still use a greeting, but drop the polite close (if sending flurries of email back and forth i dont use a greeting either, and don't even sign them).
for business email i use both, and basically treat the email as if it were a letter. mainly i do so because many (more traditional) people grant an email somewhat less weight than a paper letter, and i want to counteract that.
