I think CG is right.  If the email subject line TRUELY said "confidential - pay stubs", then there really isn't a reason for her to open it.  

Now I'll play devil's advocate for a minute... Let's say the email program used has a preview pane set up that showed the info.  Even if that is the case, this employee should have immediatly closed the email/preview pane, informed accounting what happened, and then said nothing to any parties not involved.  

Of course this is a case of could've, would've, should've, but the bottom line is you have done nothing wrong.  YOUR priorities should be to YOU first, the company second, and then your boss.  Then maybe, just maybe if there is "room" left, your fellow coworkers.  A work friend is just that.  A REAL friend would never have put you in that postion to begin with.
