Email legal considerations

Question
What are the legal consequences of what I write in an email? 
Answer
Email content can be used as a legal document in a court of law. Be sure that what you write has no legal ramifications before you hit the "Send" button. This includes anything that might be considered harassment, sexual or otherwise, slander, libel and even plagiarism.
