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?

The main thing to remember is that this email was in my sent mail folder, not just my inbox.

Spammers can change the reply-to and from lines of e-mail to try to hide their tracks but the IP number if you view the full headers of the e-mail will be of the track the e-mail took. Just delete these messages and pay them no mind. No one can stop spammm, they try. If you think the mail came from your account, then change your password to something like "xym13r12y"

cancel your email, and don't open it, it, probably a hacker or virus
