Right.

* A 2002 email authoritatively documents software running in 2011?

* An email is more authoritative than an experiment designed to see how
  the software actually works?

* An email is more authoritative than the source code?

* And, as Corey correctly points out, the email in question doesn't say
  what you seem to think it says.

This is the informal fallacy called the argument from authority, which
(as Aquinas pointed out [for those amenable to the argument from
authority]) is the weakest of them all.
