A friend of mine who works in IT saw this story and said it was highly unlikely the guy made a mistake and forwarded the email himself. He thought it was a case of an admin monitoring the guy's email, deciding he was a douche, and forwarding the email across the network.

That violates the old maxim "Never attribute to malice what could be due to stupidity", but it makes sense.  Except I suspect the admin got ticked at him and THEN monitored his emails.

Status: offline 		I know Cornell/Ithaca mind set pretty well.  I doubt any job fallout will come to the two for their infidelity being exposed.  Sexually it is a pretty liberal place.Nabokov wrote LOLITA while teaching at Cornell about fifty years ago.  It has always been Cornell's proudest fact.
Vonnegut, Richard Price, Alex Haley are  a few important writers Cornell has graduated.  The bar is pretty high. These two will be criticized and shamed not for their activity but for their lack of literary talent and sexual imagination in their emails.  That's more what people at Cornell care about.
Oh, the Mom also appears to  need some psych help...those kids might be in a tad of danger especially as the relentless & oppressive Ithaca winter drags on and her cabin fever  increases.  Sounds like she hates her kids, her husband and her(self) life; the infidelity probably just her first step in acting out. Hope someone notices this is a woman  headed towards unhinged, especially now with the  traumatic embarrassment of these emails made public.

You grandfather sounds likes a wise man. He's spot on. I am one of those dinosaurs who believes that while I am on the clock I should be doing work. I never send personal email or do any personal web surfing on the clock. I don't like my online activity to be monitored (their right - their system) but I wouldn't do it anyway. If our friend at Cornell shared the same work ethic his personal life wouldn't be headlines even if he wasn't guilty of the cc: himself.

Reading down through the comments you see that someone named 'mslewis' outed a co-worker at their law firm for accidentally cc:ing them on a private email of a racy nature and got the dude fired. As much as I feel work time is for work I'm not pathetic enough to do something like that. That person is a douchebag.

I didn't explain it clearly. My friend figures an admin was monitoring the guy's email because he thought the guy was a douchebag.

It would never happen in my company. The boss loves seing me relaxed and doing nothing. It is when i run around like a blue assed fly looking confused and haggard he worries. Then the plant is down and it costing him plenty of mullah. We have a bet with him. 500 hours no stoppage and it is a free botle of Glenfiddich for everybody in maintenance and operators. Clock goes zero he can rant and rave freely.
