    That's not always the case. It depends on the webmail software used. Sometimes it will remain in the senders out box until it's read by the recipient. If it's deleted before it's read, it would effectively be "unsent"

    Note, only some webmail programs do this. I have no idea if the one used by 4042 is one of them.

    oh so many things - wow you really must know me...lol


    no. i sent something that I think it want to all parties instead of just the person who sent it. i am not even sure. It really wasn't that big a deal but I was hoping to recind it nonetheless. oh well.

    I got an email today and one the other day from someone I didn't know, but they seemed to know me. Was it you? I sent her an email back just telling her that I think she made a mistake...Although, that wasn't through 4042, it was through regular email, so guess it wasn't you, huh?

    I would never reply to an unsolicited unknown party. That is one way for them to find out it is a legitimate email address.

    I made that mistake one time. Boy did I get a ton of BS emails for a while after that.

    I didn't the first time. But it wasn't a "generic" email, they had my name, spelled right (which I spell my name different than most) and had in a phone number, talking about some band they were going to see, invited me along...it honestly seemed like someone who thought I was someone else. But then the second time I thought I should probably let them know it was a wrong address. They had emailed about 10 people the second time, and I could read all the email addresses. I was thinking it was either someone from the PTA or someone here that thought I was someone else...Anyone on here named Trina?
