It sounds like a web messaging glitch. When the message was sent, web messaging must
have used the wrong file name (IE "IWM73.TMP" instead of "IWM74.TMP"). I haven't
heard of this happening before, but perhaps if both E-mails were sent simultaneously,
both may have seen that the last E-mail ID was 72, and both used 73 for theirs. Just
a guess.

Management likely is well aware of the concept that E-mail (at least in the U.S.) is
usually treated along the same lines as a postcard: Normally only the addressee sees
it, but it is not secure, and somewhere along the way someone can easily (and legally)
read it. The analogy in your case would be that someone in the mail accidentally
dropped the postcard, someone else found it, and put it up on a bulletin board for the
unnamed recipient to claim. Not a perfect analogy, but one that management might
accept.
