I understand why you do this, but, I kind of wish you didn't.
I use bbdb in XEmacs to track email addresses.  bbdb broke badly when
it associated cygwin AT cygwin DOT com with both you and corinna.  I wound up
having to create a fake record "Christopher/Corinna Faylor/Vinshen"
with email address "cygwin AT cygwin DOT com" to get around the problem.
