I'm a native English speaker and I don't see the issue there.

It's referring to the emails as one large entity rather than as individual emails, which makes sense.

Yes, but when they are only relevant as a group, it makes sense to refer to them as a single entity. At least in my mind.

I attempted several times to explain the choice of words and why it's wrong, and I can't come up with a decent explanation for why that particular turn of phrase jumped out at redguards and me.

All I can say is, it sticks out like a ~~sore thumb~~ JIDF thread on /pol/.
