It shows as an example of what was actually written on the other page.

That's why you got the email alert: you set your blog up and asked to be emailed when you had a new comment. All is good.

So I just moved them over to my inbox.

But what about the comment that appeared in the linked-to post? Is that normal too?

You linked to your other post and WP sent you an email telling you that someone (in this case yourself) had licking to one of your articles.

It's normal.

The paragraph in your original post just shows you what is being said about your article at the other page.

As to it being in your junk email folder, your email provider has probably setup his or her email servers to label all PHP mailed emails as spam. That's overkill in my opinion.

The plot thickens. Now when I look at the linked-to post there's a comment there with the paragraph with the link pasted. What gives??? :o

Do I get this email because I had a link in this post to another post of mine? Is that not allowed? Did I get this because someone clicked that link?

If I've done something wrong, then tell me how to link to other posts of mine in a WordPress legal manner. ;)
