"Annoying." Exactly!! Probably someone, who has you in their email address book,
has been infected by a fairly recent, and very annoying, virus. (I forget the
name of it...) It has the feature of randomly selecting an email address from the
infected machine's list, to use as a spoofed return address. Then it blasts itself
out to all the other addresses it can find, some of which may be invalid. All the
invalid ones cause "bounce" messages, which are directed to the innocent 3rd party
victim. (Whatever you do, don't open any attachments in such a message.)
