this is a feature of google mail / gmail.  it collapses conversations
into distinct messages; since you sent the message, it sees no reason
to deliver it back to yourself.

you can find the message in your outbound mail folder, and confirm it
was received via the external mail list archives, if needed.

best regards,

OK, many thanks coderman.

It was not very clear, but I now think the gmail help appears to say that gmail automatically blocks (with total deletion) any email "from" its own email address, as an anti-spam feature.

I can't seem to find a setting to switch this "feature" off with.

The problem I (and I guess other gmailers) have is I don't know my email to or-talk was successfully sent out or not. Theory is not the same as practice. So I keep having to go over to a friends pc to be sure.

I might set up another account, of my own, to check receipts. Seems to be the only solution.

Best wishes,
