lol sharon, a colleague of mine did something similar, though before the days of email. We had a big in-house word processing system, which you could use to type and post faxes to the outside world. He wrote one bad-mouthing the boss and sent it off to a friend. I pointed out to him that all these e-faxes were copied in a virtual folder that anyone in the office could read. He went a little pale. I never heard that there were any repercussions, but he left soon afterwards to write a history of soldiering in WW1.
