I think it would be civil to say "I would feel extremely concerned for my safety if I were to receive an email that said xxxxx. I would most likely contact the police."
That talks about *your* feelings without characterizing the email in a negative way.
If "threatened" isn't ok, it's probably because it can be a description of what someone did to you. While concerned describes only your feelings.
It's probably also wiser not to repeat what Dr. Bob has deemed to be uncivil. Better to link to it. Just to be on the safe side.
If Dr. Bob thinks I'm incorrect, I'm sure he'll explain where I'm wrong here. :)
