Too dumb for askme filter: google docs is confusing me!→[More:]

I just sent a google document to someone as an email attachment, using the "share" drop down menu on the upper right side of the document. So where can I find a copy of the note I added to the attached doc? It's not in my outgoing mail folder?!

The 'email as attachment' option doesn't use your normal email account to send the email -- Google Docs just sends an email on your behalf using its own mail server. Since it doesn't use your normal email account, it won't show up in your usual Sent folder.

Unfortunately, unless you ticked the 'send me a copy as well' box when you sent it, I don't think there's a way to see your note, other than asking the person you sent it to to forward it back to you.
