Gmail panic

Okay guys I just sent a rather sensitive email to my other gmail account to save for reference purposes.

It never arrived and when I went back it says

From: (my email address)
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Now I can't find any list it might have gone to. How do I know who this went to please? My guess is it can't have gone anywhere..........I pray anyway.

    What email application did you use?

    Wherever it's gone to, sending email is like writing stuff on the back of a postcard anyway, it's all out in the open.

    A bit late now, but if it's sensitive, then the original sender shouldn't have used email. And instead of forwarding it on, you should have saved it, encrypted it, then used a cloud service as a postbox to get it to where you need it.

    It was an email regarding something sensitive but not world changing. I was using gmail - web based. I've gone into original and sent items and it has no other names.

    Has it arrived as intended but been marked as spam for some reason?
