[Coco] CoCo Email Test

[K. Pruitt]

Cool. I'll look in to that. I did see it in the repo but I wasn't exactly 
sure what it was.

I ran a BBS (pc-based) years ago which had email for a brief period of time. 
I used a program called "GIGO" (poor name choice) that I believe utilized a 
UUCP to SMTP gateway. But it has been a long time so I could be remembering 
it incorrectly.
