Even usability experts have to learn somehow. This is an amusing story proving that anyone can be dangerous with an email program and an archive of old mail.

This reminds me of the time I wrote an email that said something to the effect of "we don't spend enough time together, and I'd love to have lunch if you'd like to today" and sent it to the entire company I started working for 4 weeks earlier. We used Quickmail at the time (this was pre Internet-proliferation) and I could unsend it, but not before about 30% of the company read it. If I made the same mistake today, I'd play it off like I meant to do that, and make a big lunch of it!

Thanks to Frances for passing this one along!
