Speaking as a mother with a sharp mind...I would never let my daughter or any family member use my e-mail address if I had anything to hide. With that said, what daughter thinks she knows...she really doesn't know. Everyone has a right to their privacy, even mothers.
Privacy is violated, yet it might be to the saving of a marriage or the stopping of the spread of a disease to the father. Either way the Dad has a right to know after discovery.

You are assuming something to be true because of an e-mail?
Whether it was intentional or not, my point was to be honest wih the mother by letting her know the daughter read it.
It's just my feeling on the matter, no one has to listen to me!
Saying you read it accidentally is not exactly honest....but I agree the Mom needs to be asked about it. The Dad is in danger, if the wife is in fact being unfaithful.

If the mother and daughter have a close relationship then the daughter should go to the mother in private, first apologize for her wrong, and then ask her mother if what she saw is what she thinks it is. Daughter should go to Mom first. If her mother confesses then the daughter should allow the mother to go to the father and confess without getting involved themselves.
If the daughter takes the information to the father then the father will never forget that moment and the daughter will always be a reminder of a negative situation. Mother should be prompted to do the right thing. A real man or woman in this situation would not want their children caught in the middle.
This goes back to: Is this an emotional affair? Is it a true physical affair? It is very hard to judge people in these situations. Only the people involved can know and understand the consequences of their behaviors.

I agree with this. The offender should always be approached one on one to start with.

I think that what determines whether something is gossip is who you tell. If something concerning comes to your attention and you discuss it with the person involved, I do not believe that that is gossip. If you go to outside people and just needlessly share info, it is most definitely gossip.
Even if the mother did not intentionally leave access to the e-mails, I do believe that it could be possible that God is using this incident to avert serious disaster. What if an innapropriate relationship has not progressed to the ultimate end and this could be a way to snap a mother and wife out of it before it is too late.
