Received the following message on both my AW e-mail (used for auctions only) and my office e-mail (work and personal only). None of my contacts know both e-mails addresses. The message is EXACTLY as stated below, with jibberish (in which the sender line is identical) in both the to and from addresses, yet it still arrived intact.

"To: [email protected]
Subject:hi ) [wammw]
From: [email protected] Date: Fri, Dec 22 2000 11:32:23 AM GMT

How have you been?"

Is this some sort of spam?

(the happy face is a result of AWs code, and was written out in the original)

A virus scan of this revealed nothing, and my virus files are up-to-date.

That is certainly odd. If you can access and copy the headers (properties, details,message source in OE for example) of the email received in your office account you might try processing it through http://spamcop.net just to see if you can find out anything useful about the origin. (Not to report it since it's not spam.) Just a thought.
