-This D-Mail is intercepted by Echelon and modify the future in a way that the past is also modified by the emergence of the time machine technology (the SERN modify the past after find out the first D-Mail in his automatic database) this D-Mail had a lot of consequencies like the crash on radio kaikan that cancelled the conference and definitely prevent Kurisu's death (in this attractor field).

-Because it's the effect of the attractor field convergence, if he doesn't trick himself and only trying to save kurisu without trick his past self (like the first attempt in episode 23), the attractor field convergence will force kurisu to die in order to allow the other Okabe to see her body in blood. For the second part I don't know why you ask the question, Kurisu only see him save her and want to thank him and the past okabe is replaced by the one we follow.

With the whole Kurisu thanking him I was bringing up a point. The Okabe of the past saw Kurisu as dead, right? So with Kurisu thanking Okabe we know she is talking to the Okabe of the future. So what happened to the Okabe of the past? Based on the after story that we get, it seems that the Okabe of the future is now living in this timeline (Steins;Gate). There should be two Okabes, no?

My question regarding the two Okabe's was answered in the blog post by Zeldakasumi, which helped a lot. Now my main question:

Okay, so by going back to the day Kurisu dies and creating a false scene in which his past self sees Kurisu in blood what happens? Does the Okabe of the past still send the D-Mail that gets intercepted (wouldn't he have to?)? Or is this entire false death scene made just so that Kurisu doesn't die because of the convergence (would that be the same force that kept causing Mayuri to die earlier in the series)?
