In the News: E-Mail Mishaps

We've all written a few e-mails that we wouldn't want certain people to see. But what happens when you accidentally include that special someone as an addressee? Depending on what was said in the e-mail, it could mean terrible consequences. The New York Times had a recent article on e-mail mistakes that has inspired plenty of discussion. After all, who hasn't made a careless e-mail blunder before?

It's pretty much inevitable that we all at one point or another will make a monumental mistake when sending an e-mail. The question is: How do we recover when we send sensitive information to the wrong person? I've committed plenty of e-mail blunders in my day, and I can tell you, it's not easy.
