"Kill line" (typically invoked with ctrl-U) is implemented in a terminal driver for the canonical mode. The shell gets the line once it's ready, i.e when user enters CR. A very long time ago people used @ to kill lines. Maybe some still do (you can change the code using the stty program). I guess that at the time either email was not popular or the bang notation prevailed.
