A few years ago, the company I worked for was trying to get staff to voluntarily change contracts, relinquishing company cars, free fuel, etc, etc on the promise of shares for a forthcoming IPO; I was having none of it, leading to some serious conflict with management.
In the midst of all the threats made to get me to sign-up to the change, management and HR were happily emailing each other about exactly what they thought of myself and other staff, how we could be dealt with, and so on.
I never did get the chance to ask how my manager felt having hit send only to have to hurriedly phone up and ask me to not read the wrongly CC'd email :-)
MIne's the one with an unread email in the left pocket. A pretty decent redundancy payment in the right.
It does me proud to see our good old US Govt. employees trying to keep up with the rest of the world in mishandling confidential information /sniffles they make me so proud.

( do not send immediately )" is a very useful command for reviewing in Opera mail. Typical of the malaise that affects these sort of people - a local govt. worker I know didn't even know how to set up folders to sort her emails - she had them all in one big inbox, complaining she found it hard to keep track of things.
I'm sure Paris keeps track of everything in her big inbox.
