oh no second
oh dear. was just emailing the bloke and it was a little bit NSFW, shall we say. only after pressing "send" did i realise he had emailed me from his work account. and he is on holiday. so his secretary will probably get it. sheeeeet. i have grovelled and he says it's fine, but i still feel really bad.

for the techies: if something gets "firewalled", do IT automatically get to see/read it? for everyone else: what have you sent by mistake that you really wish you could recall, and did it cause fireworks??

Firewalled emails are typically forwarded to your parents and the vicar.
If they've got version 6.3beta or above then they're also printed in comic sans in the local parish newsletter.

woah,
there's no fucking need for comic sans.
(, Tue 12 Jul 2011, 15:45, Reply)
No, that's not true, there are cases when Comic Sans are OK.
In the same way, there are times when AutoTune is alright, like when songifying a meme, but it is _not_ ok, I repeat, NOT OK, to do so on a comercial track to the point of robotronning your voice or in a YouTube video that is blatently a comercial enterprise by some f'cking emo-hair'd little prima-donnas.

Depends on the setup
It could be that they get so much that they won't read everything, just delete it after a set period of time. Could be that they read the lot and compile an internal news letter of the best emails caught that month.
