Are you saying that someone initiated an e- mail conversation, you sent the 2nd e-mail as a response and got the above (3rd e-mail) as a response from them? If that is the case, you will have to look at what you sent and ask their PostMaster about it. That organization might have tightened up what they accept by default. Regardless of the above, there is another possibility. A lot of virus laden spam will mine their victims' address book for addresses to spoof both "From" and "To" fields. Allow me to suggest a possible scenario: The virus on the infected PC picks your email address for the "From" field and sends it off to an address protected by Symantec Corporate Security type software. Since it does not know the From field was spoofed, it merrily sends back the response to you. I have received several of these over the last year and a half on my work account. Fortunately, they come in waves, probably belonging to whatever is the current virus family du jour.
