Random: E-Mail Difficulties? 

I just got the weirdest e-mail in my Gmail account:

From: ANDREW S FOX <address deleted@students.wisc.edu>
Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2004 14:03:07 -0500
Subject: forward?
To: address deleted@wisc.edu
An e-mail from an Andrew Fox, apparently sent to himself (i.e., Andrew Fox), which somehow ended up reaching me (you guessed it, Andrew Fox). It had no body, just that cryptic subject.

Even weirder, it seems he tried again:

From: ANDREW S FOX <address deleted@students.wisc.edu>
Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2004 14:32:05 -0500
Subject: will I get this?
To: address deleted@wisc.edu

dammit.
I'm baffled by this one, so I reply:

From: Andrew Fox
Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2004 14:35:56 -0500
Subject: Re: will I get this?
To: address deleted@wisc.edu

???

No reply back, but then I get this:

From: ANDREW S FOX <address deleted@students.wisc.edu>
Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2004 14:35:32 -0500
Subject: hope this works now?
To: Andrew Fox <address deleted@wisc.edu>
So in the span of thirty minutes, I get three out-of-the-blue e-mails from some guy that happens to share my name (the first and last name anyway).

Strange is the only way I can describe it.
