[Coco] Quoting private email

It was me who posted it on the list. I did it without malice, and
without any intention to disparage, only to relay the useful
information that the product in question was meant to an audience
different from us. In my mind, informing that to other people in the
same situation (we're all hobbyists here, aren't we?) would just save
time. If anything, if I paraphrased instead of quoting, I would be in
risk of distorting something.

By the way, I live in Brazil. I don't know how's the law about
received e-mails here. I'll have my lawyer check out.
