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:

The question is about whether it is illegal to publish a private email.
