If you have "always create backup copy" checked in your Word options
there should be a backup on your HD somewhere. If not, hard disk space formerly occupied by overwritten files is almost always among
the first to be reused. If you posted your email using the same computer,
or did anything at all besides immediately shut that system down, the chances are the file has already been destroyed by the OS. If you shut
the system down instantly and have left it untouched since the moment you overwrote the file, there is a slim chance that you might be able to recover the file by removing the HD from the system, installing it as a slave drive on a different computer, then running an undelete utility.

Totally brain fart mistake, I used one file to create another in Visio. I usually rename right away, but guess I forgot and lost my first flow of content by saving. Is it hiding somewhere? I've checked Temp and it isn't there. Word must have some "feature" that the original file went to a directory and saved it? Someone please say yes! Ugh. Not enough caffeine yesterday morning and now I'm going to pay for it. I can just feel that the list will not give me condolence.
