Remember, edit replies.
I too have received a number of emails with my address spoofed as the
sender. I was worried that I would open them accidentally, so I made a
mail rule to delete them. Unfortunately, whenever I used my convenient
method of sending myself a page by email or copying and pasting some
important info into an email and sending it to myself, those also ended
up in the deleted folder. It took me a while to figure out why some
reminder to myself didn't arrive. I have since removed it from my
rules.
