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,
