them is correct, I think they may be.

It is certainly possible to sue for e-mail libel (Norwich Union
were
famously fined £450,000 a few years ago because an employee
libelled a
competitor in an e-mail) -- but your adviser should be ditched if
he/she is telling you to go ahead and sue. The cost of bringing a
libel
case would be huge and you have no guarantee of success, or that
the
defendant can afford to pay your costs, let alone the damages
(small as
they would be unless you are Norwich Union).

Thank-you. As I only have copies of two emails from Judith to Sacha
at
present, I really don't think that is enough.

Get a grip! E-mails are notoriously easy to fake!
