The via CoCo stuff is just an attempt to preserve some sort of control over 
one's email address. It's both harmless and futile. At least in my opinion.

When I first started seeing the via CoCo stuff I thought people were 
actually responding from their CoCo! I spent several hours scouring the 
archived list messages looking for mention of this elusive CoCo email app 
before It occurred to me what was actually going on.

Though I have to say that I am kind of surprised that there isn't a CoCo 
email app. I don't see any reason why anybody would want to use their CoCo 
for email, but since when has necessity ever been the only driving force for 
a programmer? I can walk over to the wall switch and turn on a light, but I 
still wanted my CoCo to do it too, just because.

With an email app my CoCo could email my on my cell phone and tell me it 
turned on a light, or whatever. Not because I need to know that, but because 
maybe I just want to get email from my CoCo.

Geez, now I want to write an email app. What were we talking about?
