I use a TH-D7A for messaging sometimes and the delay to add a the extra 3 or 4 characters is insignificant IMO.  It is easy for people to remember "EMAIL" as a callsign and hopefully "EMAIL-2" as the "version 2" of the EMAIL server.

Ok so if my javAPRSSrvr is using LA3QMA-JS it's ok to use EMAIL or 
EMAIL-2 as the "callsign" for the mail function?

What if 100 other with this "plugin" is using EMAIL/EMAIL-2. are the 
user then getting duplicate messages on RF and/or in the e-mail ?

Or should the callsign be like LA3QMA-EM and when a user sends a message 
to either EMAIL og EMAIL-2 my server is using this but with LA3QMA-EM as 
the "provider" ??

The way i have read the howto the user has to send the message to i.e 
LA3QMA-EM / LAMAIL-2 for this plugin to work and not the generic 
EMAIL/EMAIL-2
