Ghost PMs?

I have my PM's set to send an email on reciept, and whenever my inbox beeps at me I come here to check. Problem is the last couple weeks I get the notification - but with no PM.

What's up?

digital spirits from hell are haunting your email.

Once a person hits "send" on a PM, the notification is emailed to you. But, the person who sent the PM can go back and delete the PM before you have a chance to read it. So, the PM is deleted, but the email was already sent to you.

Thus, your "ghost" PM's.

One of the "ghost" pm's was from me. I had a question, but it was answered so I deleted the PM before ya got it.
