I would send them a link pointing them to snopes regardless. Copying in the other people is a tricky one though - not exactly rude as such but it could be seen as showing them up (though it might be deserved... and people should be point in the direction of the truth, if they have just been misled)
I'm pretty sure it wasn't my best judgment ever, but I did it anyway. I should have just been an adult and deleted.

I'm trying to decide how rude I've just been.

I don't think it was rude, but I might if I got your e-mail and disagreed with you

Well, you are a Yankee. So there's no telling what the limits of your rudeness could be.

It's not rude. It's helpful.

I did not send it to my mother. She would have received it well (been there, done that).

That isn't rude. That is moral. You did the right thing. He was rude for spreading lies.

I've gotten people to take down Facebook notes replicating such emails by posting Snopes links.

I've only done that once; I mostly find them amusing, but that one was too much.
