I suspect that Snowden has copies, and has baited NSA. I suspect that this email was the least damaging to NSA and that's why they "found" it.
Snowden is in the catbird seat. There's nothing they can do aside of assassination. But he already had considered that possibility and was willing to take the risk for love of country.
edit to add: I doubt he has hard copies with him. They're probably stashed somewhere.
