Let's assume this email exchange is with a government employee in an official situation. Of course, the relationship is now broken. But is it illegal?

It is not illegal to use foul language in and of it's self. It is a matter of context in which the foul language is used. For example, sexually explicit language could be a form of abuse. But it is not the words themselves which are illegal it is the intent of the sender in using sexually explicit words. The same applies in the use of threatening words, which often times include foul language.
The use of foul language in a business setting is unprofessional and may cause the writer of such to be reprimanded for their use in that capacity.

It's probably not the most intelligent thing to do, however, we have the wonderful first amendment in this country that allows every citizen the right to free speech. You can say whatever you want as long as you are not threatening the person you are writing to. You can say that Pres Bush is the biggest idiot to have ever sat in the oval office and you can't wait till his 8 year reign of idiocy is concluded so the public can be rid of him. You cannot, however say that you want him dead.

No- you can say whatever the F@#$ you want but you can get reported for abusing if someone has a problem with it.

No one sees your e-mails except the person you e-mailed. If you used profanity and they are fine with it who the f!@k cares.
