Yes, this was what happened, obviously. More importantly
due to this the message was never forwarded to my account
on my own domain, as all messages sent to the gmail
account would normally be. This confused me. I'll remember
to BCC my own domain the next time I send something from
the Gmail account(*).

Thanks for explaining!

(* Yes, I'm an email packrat, regularly archiving my mailbox
files and saving them on a CD. It's in my blood, because
when my father died I found that he'd saved virtually every
piece of paper he ever received or wrote in cardboard files
in the attic. I threw most of it away confident :-/ that the
labels on the files were accurate. Compared to that digital
packratting is at least less space-consuming!)
