Gmail protects you from possibly salacious images -- from you

Someone I haven't talked to in 25 years just found me on Twitter, which I found both interesting and kinda weird.


So I forwarded the note to a friend, and was amazed when Gmail warned me:




Always display images from richard.wiggins@gmail.com



But I am richard.wiggins@gmail.com!!!


Yup, that's right: Gmail is protecting me from images that I sent myself.


Hmmm.... I suppose I can see the logic.
