Previous vs last

Dear Users,


Is there any difference between saying:

Did you see what I said in my previous message? and Did you see what I said in my last message?

Do both words make a reference to the last message that was sent or does previous refer to the one before the last one?


Thanks

Your last message is the one you sent just before this one. Your previous message is the one you sent before the one in question. It usually amounts to the same thing.
