Someone or something, possibly you, used the "mail" (or "mailx") 
command to send an email to "your@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", with the subject 
"Photos".  The address appears to be a default that should be filled in 
with a real address.  This would have happened about 4 hours before you 
got the local mail notification.  Think back to what you were doing 
then.  Perhaps you tried some new software?
