a or an before an alphabet?

[dqdqf]

Hi teachers,

I would like to verify which article to use before an alphabet. Please correct me if I am wrong. We say "an A", "an I", "an L", "an M", "an N", "an O", and "an X". But for all the other alphabets, we use "a" before them (including "a E" and "a U"), am I correct?

Thank you!

now i come to think of it more, we say "an e-mail", so when we refer to just the alphabet, we say "an E"?

Do you mean the letters themselves or words beginning with those letters?
