Actually, the case law is clear that unless the author of a document (which would include an e-mail) has expressly claimed a copyright as to that particular document itself, the letter or e-mail belongs to the recipient.

So it may be freely re-distributed. Many books of letters received are published exactly on this basis.

Now if this is a violation of some other contractual relationship, such as Terms of Service, is another matter.
