Chronological is the best choice for order.
Reverse chronological is only useful because it reduces the navigation
distance for the most interesting item, i.e. the most-recent is
already at the top of the page. This benefit only applies if "latest"
is of significantly more interest than the others, i.e. it supercedes
the others (warnings) or is probably of more immediate interest
(emails).
Any time you're looking at a sequence of _multiple_ items, stick with
forward chronology.
