Eric, I had approximately 10 bitcoins in my account just now, and used the send to email feature to send all the coins to my brother, using his gmail address.

My brother clicked on the email link, registered a new account, but does not see the bitcoins. 

This is very worrisome, as the site says that the coins will be held for 30 days, if not claimed will be credited back to me.  Does this mean that neither will my brother or I see the coins for another 30 days?
