Message photo to email (gmail) address (AT&T)?

[PecanEater]

Is it possible to send a photo from Messages (iOS7) to an email address (gmail). I'm an AT&T user if that's relevant. I've tried to do it and it doesn't seem to be working. Thanks.

Apologies if there is an obvious answer to this but I can't seem to make it work and my searches are only yielding results for questions in the opposite direction (email to mms).

I don't believe it can be done...

Not sure if it might be carrier dependent somehow, but using my Verizon iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2 I was able to go to the Messages app and select new message and enter a Gmail email address that I have in the To field (one that isn't associated with an iMessage account that someone might have) and then type a message or attach a photo and send the message. I then received it as an email message (with attachment that has whatever I sent) in my Gmail account.
