I accidentally sent a private email to the entire mailing list, what should I do?

Question

I'm on a mailing list and somebody posted a job opening. I replied asking for a more information, but didn't notice that it was sent to both the original sender *and* the mailing list. Luckily it was a rather brief email, but I am rather embarrassed over this... and I hope it doesn't affect how they would perceive me for the job either... >.<
So what should I do? I guess I could just not say anything else, or should I email the list again and say, oops, did not mean to do that, please ignore it?

Answer 1

No, let it go, everyone does that at least once. No biggie.

Answer 2

Once, I sent an email to HR complaining to them how the boss was treating some of the people in the office. The guy was bipolar and he was not treating some of the employees well, he actually was abusing them, and I accidentally copied him, and man was he up my butt about that.



But, we got the problem fixed, because when they had a layoff he went.

Answer 3

dont worry about it. ppl make mistakes. just be glad there wasnt something personal and embarassing in that email! that would be really really bad!

Answer 4

Answer 5

Leave it alone.

No big harm done.
