Thanks for this response. I also realised this myself after a while.

Actually I didn't see your message until I posted my own followup
reply because gmail had moved it into spam. Apparently it doesn't like
the headers in your email for some reason: "Gmail could not verify
that it actually came from gmail.com. Avoid clicking links,
downloading attachments or replying with personal information."
