Q: some emails don't go into sent folder

I am running the latest version of Yosemite on a MacBook Pro Retina 15" and just recently when I email this one person and include an attachment of a PDF, that email does not go into my sent folder after it is sent. I know that it does get sent because that person will reply to the email but it is no where in my sent folder which is not good if I need to access that attachment on my iPhone or iPad.

 

Why is this happening? Is there a new but within Mail? Because I also have a new problem that used to happen with a previous version of the OS where once I attach that file, I can then no longer save over that file or delete it and empty the trash as long as Mail is open. I get the message that it is in use and I have to quit Mail to do anything with it.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), 15", 2.6GHz, 16GB RAM, 1TB Hard Dri

    I have been randomly experiencing this problem for the past couple of months.  A couple emails had attachments of PDFs created by OS X (save as PDF from Word), another had a jpeg, two others had .png files which were screen captures.

    In each case I had the recipient forward the email back to me to confirm they received it, yet the message does not appear in the sent folder.  If I forward the message to myself, it appears in the sent log.  The only pattern I see is the email always has a PDF, jpeg or png attachment, but does not do it consistently.

    I am running 10.10.5.
