On a more serious note, I'd don't know about America law, but under British law the copyright on a letter, or e-mail, is still owned by the sender and any reproduction is thus illegal.
​
Not that anyone is likely to do anything about it, but I'd exercise caution if I were you, MessanjaH.

As far as Mr Jack's comment about copyright, that is a bit bizarre under US law.
​
That is, the words are copyrighted by the author, but the physical item is property of the recipient. That is, if you were to write me a physical letter, you would own the copyright on the words you wrote, but I could physically show the letter to anybody I wanted.
​
How this applies to email where there is no physical item, I'm not quite sure.
​
Well, yes. You can show anyone you like a book, but the copyright on the book is owned by the author, or publisher. Same with e-mail, and physical letters, you could show someone your copy, but you couldn't photocopy it, or copy the words somewhere else.
​
With e-mail, legal precedent has it that sending someone else a copy, or posting the contents, or printing it out and giving it to other people is copyright violation.

Re: Poor, defensless people...
Do you actually know any Christians? You seem astoundingly ignorant of their nature and motivations.
