Still trying to make this work... I manually ran a credit card charge for the gift certificate and went to Mail Gift Certificate in the admin section. I filled out the form and clicked send - everything seemed fine. But, the gift certificate is not showing up under Gift Certificates Sent, and I haven't received a copy of the email, although my email settings indicate I should.

Is there anyone out there with an idea of what's going on? Something is obviously amiss, and I'm happy to troubleshoot further, but I think I've exhausted all the ideas in my little brain...
