IMO, if someone characterizes a slightly insulting email as 'nasty' it might be an accusation or a put-down because it would be an exaggeration. But there's a point where the word 'nasty' just might be an accurate description-- for instance, if the email contained obscenity and violent imagery. In that case calling it a 'nasty' email might even be kinder than a more elaborate description of its contents.
