Anyone have any idea why this occurs? (and how to fix?)

Yesterday there was no rain, and today there is,
even though I have changed _nothing_ from my side :)

Everything is simple and logical.

Ensure that a message was actually sent, and that
it actually has your correct destination address.

Then look to see whether your "webmail" says
that it has ever arrived at your ISP
(also check for spam there, if they have a quarantine,
but if they discard suspected spam without a trace,
then it could have been incinerated at that point,
or fell off the back of a truck when their own server
crashed -- stuff can happen!)

Then make sure you have done an incoming mail check,
from the correct account, and have accounted for
any incoming filtering.

If you are receiving this mail in more than one email client,
make sure that "leave on server" (on every client)
permits multiple downloading (for users of Gmail via POP,
multiple downloading is not possible,
except when using "recent mode" -- see Gmail help info).

For good luck, when you send a Bcc, include both your Gmail address
and your ISP domain address -- arrival at either one will confirm
satisfactory processing up to storage on the SMTP server
which Eudora contacted when sending it,
followed by delivery to at least one of the destination domains.
