Here is the thing, the email, according to Curtis, was supportive and ego-stroking to Curtis. When that happens and yet the other side of the email was allegedly an unwarranted and vicious attack on Emily, Curtis appears to not be able to get beyond the fact that he liked the email because Sal was complimentary to him. If he really has no problem with Emily (and frankly, why should he?) then he should have understood and admitted that Sal's email to Emily was harsh, ugly, unjustified. Instead of liking the email because it was good for his ego he should have (if he had any respect or reasonable feeling for Emily's position) gotten beyond his subjective support of this otherwise mean-spirited and traumatizing correspondence and called it for what it was. That has not happened and therefore I question Curtis' intentions and values not to mention his motives for treating Emily badly by not supporting her and understanding where she was coming from in her pain. But maybe that is asking too much. >
