What is option 3? Nobody numbered anything. If you're talking about copyright, this is obviously fair use.

The comment you are answering to refers to option 3 in the link that they post. It refers to the first answer to the question in that link, the relevant text is:
> 3. Offensive to a Reasonable Person: Publication of the private facts in question must be offensive to a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities.
The question is about whether it is illegal to publish a private email.

Finally someone raising the valid point about "it all depends on the legal paperwork signed."
Absent any NDA or other contract, there is nothing requiring the other party’s consent to publish correspondence in the US.
