When I write an email to my friends to suggest them to visit my site, half of them will read the email with a pc application, the other half with an online email service.

Their visit to the site are counted, respectively, either as direct visits or as "from web site" visits.

I think piwik should try to detect what visits come from an online email service, and count them among the direct visits, in the same way it separates search engines visits from web site ones.

It is sometimes interesting to know which websites they come from. Instead you should use Campaign tagging as explained in: http://piwik.org/docs/tracking-campaigns/
