Well, that may be true in the form that you have written the email - no Dear
*****, no reference etc, but if I sent an email to Simon Howarth but the
email starts "Dear Mr Gregg" and contains the address of the person I would
suggest that the situation is slightly different.
In that case, it would be, I suggest, no different to me receiving a letter
which has been sent out in wrong envelope ie letters and envelopes are
switched. This is not such an unusual occurrence with business letters where
many letters are being sent out and letters get switched and are sent out in
the wrong envelope (for instance to job applicants).
I wouldn't have thought that if I receive such a letter that I "own" the
letter - although it is in my possession.
