Guessing spam emails...

I don't see them often, but sometimes I get a spam email through that claims to have been sent several years ago.  I've observed this behavior for quite a few years.

Many years. 1969 seems to be pretty popular.

I get a number of spam emails with addresses spoofed to be my own. Not sure why. It's interesting in Gmail as anything with your address shows up as being sent from "me"

If I were foolish enough to want to buy what they are selling?  Why have it sent from myself?

Rev once said, "Could be a Future-me.  Or it could be an Evil-Universe-me, or a clone, or someone not-me who intends on killing me in order to replace me, or a cyborg/android.  Under any circumstances, it dies.  If it IS a future-me, he'd be smart enough to call first..."   ;)

I've been seeing that for years.  What I really want to know is how come all those people out there happen to know that I'm broke, poorly endowed, and horny.
