Durova is perfectly capable of posting the email to Wikipedia herself, everything else aside.
Why on earth should she? It's evidence in an ArbCom case, the ArbCom has seen it. What business is it of yours?
Because the email contained her reasons for blocking a user. These reasons should have been stated iin public when she blocked !!, not on a private list. After all, administrators only can keep the trust of the general Wikipedia population by being as transparant as possible.
If an admin refuses to publicly reveal the reasons for blocking someone, one alternative is to reveal them to the Arbitration Committee, which she did. In fact, she is now the subject of an ArbCom case. And her personal correspondence is not identical with her reasons for blocking someone; she could have given her reasons without revealing the e-mail, and for all we know the e-mail doesn't accurately capture her reasons for the block. You have neither the right nor the need to demand that someone reveal their personal correspondence to you.
