Reading Other People's Email?
If Person A sends an email to Person B, and Person B lets his friend, Person C to read it and Person A doesn't want person c to read it, is it legal?
[Assuming that the email itself was nothing illegal]

The issue here, despite the e-mail context, is no different than 19th-Century (or earlier) gossip.
Person B has a right of free speech, and unless that right is abused by passing along the contents of the e-mail by it falling under some traditional tort category such as defamation or invasion of privacy, it is no more "illegal" or sue-on-able than old fashioned gossip.
