In an article about accidental emailing by J Samia Mair in the Baltimore Muslim Examiner, the author admits this chilling blunder: "Many years ago, I forwarded my husband a rejection email from a literary agent. He sent me a conciliatory email—a very short reply consisting of one, not-so-flattering word describing the agent. The problem was that instead of sending the email to me, he sent it to the agent. His blunder was only discovered by her reply to him. Oops! Let’s cross out that agency for all future queries." Anything similar ever happen to you?

Conversely, at work, I don't like it when somebody just replies to me on a thread where they should reply to all. It's so hard to get this right!
