I agree that the spelling makes a difference. In general it makes a huge difference to me, cos I'm another one of those people that sees words spelt out in their head :-)
But because we never studied any Poe at school and I haven't read any since, I just don't have enough associations with him for the 'e' to mean anything yet. (I certainly will read some of his work when I get round to it, because i've heard such good things about it here.)
