Fwd: weird email in trash

[Christine Skarbek]

Since the day before yesterday, every time I save a document in a draft email, something happens and an 'unknown sender' sends me my own attachment but it doesn't go to my inbox, but to my trash.  Can you tell me why that is happening?

I have sent these emails to spam and deleted them that way but in the meantime, they keep being sent to my trash box.
Thank you, Christine

    I have no experience with what you are experiencing, but is it possible that the copy in trash is the old version before you modified it? Just spitballin' here, but no other possibilities that I thought of even came close to fitting.

​For the sake of understanding context, are you using Gmail by logging in to it in your web browser?  I call this Gmail's "web interface".​  I start at www.gmail.com, or mail.google.com, or click on the Gmail link near the upper right corner of the main Google webpage,and then login directly to Gmail.

Or, are you using another program for accessing your Gmail account?  Thunderbird, Opera, Outlook, etc.?  These are commonly called "email client" programs.

How exactly are you "saving" the document in a draft email?  Is there some sort of "save" button?  Are you saving the document or saving the draft email?
