Tiger mail is marking messages sent from myself to myself as junk. Specifically, I'm sending messages from the account marked as the "Me" account in Address Book, to the same account.
When I receive the message, Mail.app is marking it as junk.
Here are the settings for Junk in Mail.app's preferences. I think they're the default settings. Everything seems normal enough with them.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I got it once when I forwarded a file from Mail.app to my gmail account. I have gmail set to forward copies to my Mail.app and so it sent a copy back. It showed as junk but once I hit Not Junk, I haven't had that problem.

Weird.
Add yourself to your address book and you should be able to work around this. Or, as Randman suggested, click the Not Junk button on emails from yourself.

Perhaps it is because many spammers will set the return address to your own e-mail address, so the default logic goes, "Why the heck would somebody e-mail themselves with the same e-mail account?"

I'm already in my address book. I'm sending from and to the account marked as "Me" in address book. And I marked it as Not Junk the first time it happened, but it's happened again since then.

Although Mail.app comes with spam filters predefined, they adapt over time to suit your own e-mails. If you continue to mark mails from yourself as Not Junk, it will get the hint and stop marking them as Junk.

Apparently you are confused and you didn't even look at the screenshots smeger posted.

I understand that, and it is a bug that it's not recognizing his address from the Address Book. However, the regular junk-mail filter should still be able to figure out that it's not junk.
