 At wp-admin/edit-commet.php, higher privilege users can do everything, and
 editor/author users can do restrict editing.
 Author users can edit comments which is belonging to his/her posts.
 He/she can see all comments, but can not see email address of other's
 posts at admin panel.

 However, in HTML source, email address of all posts in written at div
 section with class="author-email" !!
 So, author users can see all email address of all comments.

 This div section is for quick editing, therefore, this must be deleted
 when he/she can not edit the comment.
