Ask HN: Google Apps Gmail just sent a draft e-mail.

1 pointsby blindflyover 12 years ago
So here are the basics of what happened to me:<p>- Ongoing thread with original sender of an e-mail - About 5 replies later I draft a reply, but only click save - “From” was not the main e-mail, it was an additional address added to Gmail<p>The e-mail is not in my sent folder. The only reference to my message is a draft within the thread. It was not sent by me, however the recipient received my e-mail plain and clear.<p>Obviously Gmail is a pretty big thing and contacting them isn’t super simple. But what happened is a major concern for me as there are plenty of draft e-mails wherein I’m seeking approval before sending. It’s like drafting obituaries… but I can’t use them until the time comes.<p>Has anyone else had this happen?<p>Is there a way I can raise this issue with Google? Since it’s a freebie service for the most part I can’t expect any one-on-one support, but at the very least I would like to let them know of this issue. Sadly, I can’t replicate it which is why I’ve turned to HN in hopes I’m not alone.
