I got notification when it was received and also got the recipt when it was deleted. Unread. They never even opened the e-mail. I guess they said "Well, it's been here nine months now. Let's delete it).

Yikes!!!
That's scary. Very scary. My worst fear as a writer, actually.

But I heard that they had a problem back in 2003 about that, and it's fixed now. Dang, I sure hope it is. (sorry for all the cheesy exclamations, but we're probably not allowed to swear here...I feel that this news calls for some swearing).
