Email To Me From Me?
8 Answers
I regularly get emails into my hotmail junk folder showing my name in the title and showing my email address when I hover over it.
I never open them and they are undoubtedly spam, but how does this work?

The 'From' field in an email doesn't actually show the sender. It shows whatever the sender has entered into the 'Reply to' field of his message. Some spammers use the email address that they're send spam to in the 'Reply to' field, resulting in people apparently getting spam from themselves.
