Agreed.
The email address is no-one's personal data.
The fact that someone is on a mailing list may to whom mails may be sent using that address may well be.
Put it in another context. I am at work in the NHS. I have an email address. I have access to a number of mailing lists some of which may be quite sensitive (client's of a xxx clinic). If I send an email to that list (carefully using bcc of course!) MY email address is clearly not their personal data. Similarly "clientsofxxxxclinic@..." is not. Membership of the list and the content of the email and the fact taht they received the email may be.
If client Y did an SAR I could (but would not bother) redact the email address as being outside scope if I thought the email content was in scope.
