More than likely with the many viruses going around. Someone who has your
address in there address book is infected. The virus sends emails from that
computer forged as being from you or other people on that computer. So you
are right the email probably didn't come from you. Unfortunately there
isn't much you can do until the person infected cleans there computer.
