Haha thanks guys but this case is quite suspicious. It was sent over two weeks ago and it just happens the most important email is the only one which didn't arrive. All others arrived. I'm not buying it. :-) Is it possible to achieve this by tampering with the mail server settings or some other way?
Noonie- I've not been able to replicate this by dragging into the sent folder in gmail. Perhaps Outlook will do it but that would be quite dodgy.
