Hi,

Foolishly, I sat up until late last night, writing a huge email report for work without periodically saving it (yes it had to be with the recipient first thing this morning). After typing somewhere around 6 or 7 pages of size 10 text, and nearing the end ... I accidentally hit CTRL+D whilst meaning to hit CTRL+B to send some text into bold.
Hey presto! .. email gone ... It seems CTRL+D is the permanent delete command in Outlook. The file lost has a .eml extension, but I cant find it anywhere on my machine.
In desperation this morning I downloaded a few small data recovery programs, which failed to find the missing file.

Any ideas anybody?

In desperation!

It's gone.

If you are indeed going to mail a report it's better to create the report in
Word and send it as attachment instead of sending a 7 page e-mail. You might
wan to consider this for the future.

You mentioned the eml-extension. Note that this is an Outlook Express
extension and that this newsgroup is for Microsoft Office Outlook.
Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Good Luck!
