In email "Reply All" is the greatest peril. The second greatest peril is pre-defined distribution lists with similar names.
A coworker just sent an email to the wrong distribution list that is so embarrassing that I want to book a flight to Delaware and give her a hug. And I don't hug people.
Fortunately it wasn't personal but she kind of just shot apart months of delicate enterprise wide (and that's pretty darn wide around here) negotiations on how to complete a project.
There's the saying that in politics a gaffe is unintentionally speaking the truth. She made that kind of gaffe, hopefully she doesn't get in any real trouble beyond the embarrassment since she didn't say anything wrong (or call anybody names).
