   for website and I want to change where it says
    mail (will not be published)
 * to say e-mail address (will not be published)

 * it should all be contained in your comments.php file.
 * Depends on your theme really
 * There is no reason you can’t edit it….. Mine’s totally customized

 * In the file named **comments.php** you could find this line of code (for example
   from my own blog) :
 * Just change the [YOUR TEXT] for your own one.
 *     ```
       <p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo $comment_author_email; ?>" size="45" tabindex="2" <?php if ($req) echo "aria-required='true'"; ?> />
   
       <label for="email">[YOUR TEXT] <?php if ($req) echo "(requis)"; ?></label></p>
       ```
   
 * Hope it will help you
