The subject of the message from "me" (which I didn't send) was "445." The message was "5556." That's it. I checked my sent mail, and the message was there, so this was somehow done using my account. And when I responded, it went right back to me, so it was clearly my address.
I attempted to duplicate the message by sending a new one to myself, but there were differences. In the original message, the From line was my user name. But in the message I wrote, the From line was my real full name.
Another difference: the original message (which I didn't write) went through more servers than the one I wrote. An excerpt:
"Received: from grnavata.com (pool-138-88-106-95.res.east.v... [138.88.106.95])
by mx.gmail.com with SMTP id 25si305004wra.2006.06.06.10.54...
Tue, 06 Jun 2006 10:54:30 -0700 (PDT)
Received-SPF: neutral (gmail.com: 138.88.106.95 is neither permitted nor denied by domain of [myemail]@gmail.com)"
But nothing else was disturbed. Prank? Hack? Virus? Spam?
