I say it's from a zombie trojan mailer that got bad instructions. If you click the wrong thing or don't have proper firewall or updated software, spammer/hackers put a trojan horse program on your system that becames a zombie slave that will email spam out to the designated recipient. Something has gone wrong with the master's instructions or the zombie is a bit fried.

Notice the from IP address is some random DSL customer PC.
