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.
