If you want to expose them, then do so without breaching their copyright.

BTW, I am against "exposing" someone in a forum without telling the
original author, because it may rob him of the possibility to tell his
side of the story (for which he is free, of course, to repost excerpts
of his original post to others).

Note: copyright "fair use" does not apply to unpublished emails.

Whatever is said in an email is free game (unless, of course, your
statements warping whatever was said yo you are libellous).

The exact *MANNER* in which it is expressed belongs to the author.
