Finally, A Reply

As you know, I've been patiently waiting for my company CEO (Mr. M) to reply to my insurance inquiry e-mail from late June. I know he's been busy, and I haven't been in dire need of an immediate response, so I've just been leaving a respectable amount of time before sending a follow-up e-mail. On Friday, I sent one.
At work, Mike's department is adjacent to the executive offices, so I asked one of his close co-workers, Pam, to let me know when she sees Mr. M. I didn't want to just send an e-mail blindly, taking the chance of him being out of the office and having my e-mail get lost or overlooked again. So, early Friday afternoon, Pam sent me this e-mail:

Hi! The Eagle has landed. But he may not be in for very long ~ I believe one of his grand-eaglets was born this week....

I thanked her and immediately sent my e-mail to Mr. M. I wrote:

Hi, Mr. M. I'm just following up on an e-mail I sent you in June (attached below). I know you've been extremely busy with the acquisition, and I don't want to take too much of your time, but I was just wondering if you've had a chance to look at my e-mail at all. Thank you again for your time!
Sincerely, Lauren

Within 13 minutes, he sent the following reply:

I never got your note cause the e-mail adress was wrong. I will give to benefits and ask them what can be done. Not really anything I have been asked to look at directly. I or someone else will get back to youi.

I shot back a quick, Thank you so much. Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I don't quite know how to take his reply. First of all, I sent the followup e-mail to the same e-mail address I sent the initial request to, so I don't know how he didn't get it. Perhaps he accidentally deleted it, or upon seeing my second e-mail, realized he never responded to the first one. No matter. I now know he read my request.
After I showed Mr. M's reply to Mike, he asked me how I felt. I said, "I feel....weird." I mean, Mr. M is the CEO. I said in the e-mail that I'd already checked with the benefits group and there was nothing they could do, which is why I appealed to him. What would him passing it back to them accomplish?
I'm really not expecting much from this whole thing, but at least I know I gave it a try. At least if we have to go on to finance this ourselves, I can have some peace knowing I tried to get something from our insurance first.
