Like most people using a computer I get plenty of rubbish emails, which are automatically sent to the junk folder. Tiresome and boring, but what can anyone do?

I notice that some of them show the sender as me. That is, it seems that I have sent those particular mails to myself. Strange. I am just wondering what possible purpose could be achieved by that. Why would anyone send me an email which appears as though I had sent it to myself?

Just wondering,

Its either stupidity or more likely just a way to get it passed your spam filters.
