If an editor sends an email with the intent to manipulate the on-wiki actions of another editor, then it certainly is relevant. To give a very simplified example, if MrTroll sends me a death threat via wikimail, I'd have no qualm with seeing him blocked.
This scenario is less obvious, but at least some people see it as operating on the same continuum.
