Yes, laws relating to defamation are applicable to e-mail and other online activities. For example, if a person commits libel against you through e-mail or other on-line activities, the publisher, and any re-publisher, of the offensive statement can be held accountable for damages. This is why it is wise to be careful about anything you write in an e-mail message or online chat room. If the victim is harmed by your action, you can be held liable for his or her losses.
