When you reply to emails, remove everyone from the To field before typing the body of the email or attaching files. When you draft an email, enter emails into the To field last. This way, if you accidentally hit Send, nothing happens.

Print out every email before sending it and proofread it. If you are drafting an email per instructions that your supervisor emailed you, print that email out too to make sure that you captured everything. Hopefully after a few months you can just skip this step as it is pretty time consuming.

Always open up and read attachments and verify that links contained in the body of an email link to the correct share drive locations or websites before hitting Send.

Finally, always take a step back and ask "does this make sense?". You would be amazed how many errors you can catch using this.

 
FellowTraveler:
You can't use email without it, but any great ideas for avoiding autocomplete disasters (i.e. sending sensitive info to the completely wrong person)? Seems to happen all the time.

Put the email in draft and check before sending.
