I don't know what issues you want answered regarding copyright and fair-use of email but I can tell you what little I know....
Emails are automatically copyrighted from the instant of creation like all other works (paintings, books, music, software, etc.). You don't have to do anything to get it under copyright protection. Fair use is an ill-defined term. Even uses that are clearly fair use can be dangerous to excercise unless you plan to spend $$$ on lawyers to defend it. Chris P.S. I'll be talking about such matters at sdoss.org 6:30pm meeting Wed Oct 5.
