What is the name of your state? IN

Person A serves on a Board with person B. Person B is the wife of the Mayor. Person A sends an email to Person C and D, who are friends but also on the Board, and Person E who is a friend and was on the Board but no longer is. Person A makes some comments about and their opinion of Person B in this email.
Person E forwards this email to several persons. Person C forwards it to Person B.
Now Person B is claiming that she is going to sue Person A for making slanderous comments about her and sue Person A's business because they were on Person A's business email account. Person A's business said that they have received a complaint about this from Person B.
1. Does Person B have a case of slander against person A since person A did not intend for this to go any further than persons C, D, & E?
2. Can person E & C be included since they are the ones that forwarded the email?
3. Can Person A's company be drug into it?
4. Does Person A have any ground for suing Person B for bringing it to Person A's employer?

Thanks.

Anyone can sue anyone for anything. It is doubtful that this will go anywhere.

Worry when you receive a claim and have to respond. Until then, just stop e-mailing with these people.
