Well, it would be more precise to say we don't know whether the 
claimed email exists.

I suppose it comes down to whether you trust him.

Perhaps it's naïf of me to doubt whether he'd deliberately lie 
about this supposed email, but I wouldn't put it past him to have 
misremembered the circumstances in which it was sent, and nor 
would I trust him accurately to report how the context leading up 
to the email might have affected its context.

Personally, I am always sceptical evidence I can't experience 
first hand unless at the very least comes from a source I regard 
highly.

If it were Ben or Keith or Mike, I'd say you could take it to the 
bank. But it isn't.
