    Post the full message headers... also you may have a secondary SMTP address on the email server that this was sent to perhaps. Email server admins should be able to help advise you on this but edit you answer and post the full message header detail of this message too.

    You were probably in the blind carbon copy field of the email.

    You won't see the BCC list, that's the "B"lind part. ;)

    @tuskiomi No, not in Outlook. Gmail does show bcc: me, perhaps others do as well...But if you look at the full message headers you should see your email there

    @tuskiomi - No, you will never see anyone listed in BCC, not even yourself. Moreover, if it's spam, there may not even be a true BCC list; spamware can manage the recipient list any way it wants, and what ultimately matters is what the spamware's dialogue with the mail server looks like - not what the content of the mail is. The only way you'll see your email address is if you look at the internet headers.
