Email disasters have been plentiful during my twenty plus years in the business of email management. For example the receptionist who sent an all user email saying the sandwich man was in reception. However she sent it on the back of a very sexy email from her lover. Then there was the time that Beckham complained about not receiving a Knighthood. I have also collected my own examples sent to me by clients.
One of the best of the worst was where X re-forwarded an email to Y. However, they had not checked the whole email trail because towards the end it contained some rather unpleasant things about Y.
It’s competition time. What is the worst email you have ever sent or received by accident? There will be a prize for the best response.
