Mhm, I figured someone got a hold of your machine. I thought about

The problem with e-mail is that it isn't secured.
I can just send an e-mail right now stating I am Steve Donovan or Bill
Gates or any address I find on the Net.
We can put anything in the From field. I don't think SMTP servers check
it is correct.
For the anecdote, we received a similar spam (from a so called SD) on
the SciTE mailing list as well...
