That was an important detail. Your e-mail address was hijacked by a spammer.
The spammer is using your address as the return address instead of the
spammer's return address. It's not necessarily your fault. There are two
ways this could happen:

1. Your computer has a virus that allows the spammer to use your computer to
send out spam.

2. The spammer gleaned your address in one of many ways: through a web site
where you signed up, through the 'CC:' on a group e-mail, or from a rogue
e-mail that you were tricked into opening.

If the problem becomes widespread, you'll want to get a new email address.
