Who doesn't have nightmares about work emails? Whether it's you sending an email to the wrong person or receiving a dreaded email from your manager, we all have anxiety concerning the ubiquitous phenomenon that is emailing.

He even garnered a reputation for this, which is why it was lucky when OP went to their boss, explained the situation, and was met with a certain level of understanding. We also empathize with OP's stress regarding the whole situation because as an intern, you never want to mess up and you don't want to gain a poor reputation just because of someone else's incompetence.
