I'm the creator and copyright holder of the screenshot, and hereby 
release the screenshot under the same licence as Geary's source code, 
per your attestation on Wikipedia.

With regards to the email shown, it was produced by The Conversation 
<https://theconversation.com/>. An example of the newsletter in full 
can be seen here: 
<https://theconversation.cmail20.com/t/ViewEmail/r/85B33FE81688CE562540EF23F30FEDED/89FD178B43BDFED14BD7C9066BE4161D>. 
The email comes with no copyright or licensing information, however 
their republishing guidelines for complete stories are given here: 
<https://theconversation.com/au/republishing-guidelines>, which 
specifies CC BY-ND 4.0. I'd argue that in the absence of information on 
the newsletter itself, this might also apply to the newsletter.

I'm not sure what the ramifications are of LGPL + CC BY-ND 4.0, but if 
there's any problems I'm happy to re-licence the screenshot itself.

Maybe point Wikipedians to this email in the mailing list's archives 
and see what they say?

Thanks for your continuing work on this. :)

//Mike
