Dell boy sacked over stray email

US bosses lose humour when naughty pics flash before their eyes...

Pornographic photos and a mistyped email address have landed one Dell employee in hot water at the company's Montpellier office in the South of France.

According to a report on Ananova, the male worker mistakenly sent an email containing nude photographs to a senior female executive in the US. He had meant to send it to someone with a near-identical name, but a slip of the fingers sent it straight to the wrong desk.

Embarrassment led to anger and he was instantly dismissed from his job on the grounds of sexual harassment.

He is now taking Dell to an industrial tribunal for wrongful dismissal and the case will be heard on 20 June.
