Would that be the same clever solution if you had stuffed the wrong envelope with the confidential documents and posted it?
That's harder to do!
You're going to have to ask them nicely to destroy it without reading or copying it.
I've done that, and its not a major problem, I'm just left looking like a [insert word here].

No, but you could try switching to a mail client which does not auto-complete (or just turn off auto-completion in Tbird).
But I want to have my cake and eat it too!!!
I was thinking about this last night. If auto-complete gave me a drop-down to select from (as at present), but did not actually fill in the address unless I selected one, that would be a helpful compromise.

For email addresses I use an alias system of terse abbreviations which I type in. So I type in "alug" and it fills in the full address.
This is a good idea. I did last night create a group of addresses for the intended recipients of the email I mis-sent (as its several people who often get CC'd together) so the chances of getting this particular set wrong again are reduced. And, of-course, I've naturally become paranoid and now triple check everything (I was already double-checking, that wasn't enough!)
