Why would you need to write? You'd just be reading a file to
look up a token's corresponding email address.

This also places a buffer between input data and the program's
actions; there's no way anyone can work out what the target
email address is from looking at publicly available
information and you can protect yourself from accepting email
addresses you don't want.
