Android 2.3 Gingerbread - Get your own profile picture in text message conversations

Phone: HTC Desire S
OS: Android 2.3.3 (HTC Sense 2.1)

If in text message conversations, your friend's profile pictures are showing up, but your own one isn't, you need to setup the "My Profile" contact. To do this, click People, then at the top, click My Profile (not the button to the right of it). Then either select a photo manually, or if you already have yourself as a regular contact with a picture, then hit Menu > Import and then select yourself.
