He forwarded the email to her, and she wrote a 4 page diatribe defending her actions.

One of my husbands' friends is an asshole. He ignores me in conversation and when I add something to the conversation, he'll answer my question or comment while looking at my husband.

A: That was very diplomatic and I would think it would be effective.
B: I would just ask him why he did that. That seems unfair if you sent it to him in confidence. You could create a small website yourself to vent also. Maybe photshop some pics of the people you are ticked at.
C: I would mirror his strange behavior and not look at him. Maybe look at your husband as you talk to him so as to illustrate how stupid and annoying that is.
When all diplomacy fails a good "hey....why dont you just go fuck yourself"* statement establishes the boundries in a memorable way. Be sure to increase your volume when using this method, it enhances the results.
*but then again I don't have any real friends, so there you go.
