True, but on the other hand maybe we want to send a new invitation to the user, who may have deleted the email or something else.

I see three alternatives here:
 1. We leave flow as is, which will result in polluted invitation list eventually
 2. We display a message and we don't send a new invite
 3. We don't display a message, we send out a new invite and we delete all other invites for the same email address.

William?

I vote for Option 3 and let's continue to show the 'Request sent' message. This lets the user know to expect a message and they will get a new email in their inbox. Also, we'll clear out old requests in our invitation list for that email address so it doesn't become polluted.
