:) An interesting question. You mean not armor but chain letters and email, right? Here are some links which might help you.
Basically, any chain letter is an attempt to blackmail you into spreading a message, usually by promising a benefit (a blessing, or information, or even just an easy way to keep in touch with friends without actually wasting any of YOUR time or braincells in writing something from YOU) or a threat (a curse). Chain letters use resources; they use YOUR time and storage, and that of tranmission mediums such as your Internet service provider.
Blackmail, and use of resources, have ethical and possibly spiritual implications. Misleading or causing people to fear has implications, too.

Are you referring to chain letters? if so, I would say there is absolutely no spiritual implication, in spite of the "spiritual" threats and promises that accompany them. There is a spiritual implication to believing those threats and promises, of course, because they involve not trusting God who has our lives and destinies in His hands. Trusting the false promises and threats of chain letters implies worshipping the creature instead of the creator.
Apart from that, as long as you don't believe in them, such chain letters are simply a nuisance, and those who send them on are importunate.

chain maille was designed as a lightweight (for the time)
and flexible armor that would protect against slashing and stabbing weapons.
no spiritual implications that i can think of.
however the warrior aspect of spirituality can often be seen
as a warrior in full armor with the metal being made of something that the people considered sacred or bennificial.
you may find something more on this line of thought.

If the mail asks that you forward money to someone else or tells you that you will receive money, then stay away from it. Its a scam. If however it is simply a letter that asks for blessings on those that receive it, then it is fine. It would be just like forwarding a Christian or religious e mail to others.

Chain mail is heavy, but it stops sword cuts.

Do you mean the emails that say send in 5 minutes and you will have good luck?
You will have to elaborate on your question. Sorry.
