To forward someone an email accidentally sent to me even though the person is no longer speaking to me?

I forwarded the email anyway since it was a work email, I didn't see it and unfortunately it was asking for her to write something for a magazine and the date had already passed. But anyway, I sent it to her so at least she can tell them to send her things at the correct email is Address. This used to be a very good friend of mine and we had similar emails. I just thought I would be a good friend and forward it on to her. Even though she is really hateful toward me.

I think I did the right thing. I prefer doing the right thing even if I'm somebody's enemy.

I think it would depend how important the email was.
You could look at it as you have described, "doing the right thing", or you could look at it as finding a reason to deliberately provoke contact.

Did you send it without adding a note too? I’d have put some short message like “hi, think this might be meant for you, take care etc.”

Forwarding it just on its own seems a bit... cold?

So you forwarded an out of date email instead of replying to the sender, pointing out that the address was wrong? No, I don't think that's helpful tbh.

Puppy, yes I added a very short note. It was from a very high-level magazine, I would have felt very odd contacting them. I feel really bad that I didn't see it before today.

Ok, then I don’t think what you did was that bad. But yes I’d have also replied to the sender informing them of the error - assuming it wasn’t from some “no reply possible” things. I don’t see why you feel that would have been odd.

The trouble is, she might think you withheld it on purpose.

I'll know for next time puppy.

It was a really fancy's Mansi magazine for millionaires. I just got shy.

And toast, I am visually impaired. There are many things she throws at me when she's angry, but I doubt she would do that. She knows I really can't see. I do miss a lot of emails actually had the messages.

And if this happens again, how would I word the email? Dear sir? I think this email was intended for somebody else?

Should I have given them her email address? Wouldn't that have been even weirder?

If she's being hateful towards you then you shouldn't feel any need to communicate with her at all.

Hollow, it has been a very tricky situation over the years believe me. Sometimes, I don't know what to do. That email looked very important though, and I'm sure they will want to contact her in the future,

How on earth did you get email addresses get mixed up by, I’m assuming, a third party? Or is it a colleague?

I'd reply to the sender saying that the address is wrong, but you know the intended recipient so will pass it on and then bcc (blind carbon copy) the ex-friend in so she can see the email but they won't have her email address. Then she can contact them if she wishes.

OK, thank you sparkle. If ever this happens again, that's what I will do.
