what does this email subject line mean? "Dear (me)@(me).com Tue, 16 Dec 2008 01:33:35 +0900 720FF!"?

I took out the actual name and put (me) in parentheses. There was no message. It looks like it was sent to me, from me.

    I got a similar email. Here are the details with my personal address as REDACTED:

    from REDACTED@gmail.com

    to "REDACTED@gmail.com" <REDACTED@gmail.com>

    date Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 12:46 AM

    subject Dear REDACTED@gmail.com Tue, 16 Dec 2008 07:46:01 +1200 710FF!

    Looks like I sent myself an email, right? I suspected this was spam, but I was afraid to mark spam and confuse the filter since I send myself email all the time with files. But when I click on (in Gmail) the reply dropdown and select "show original" (your email system should have something similar), I see the text I've pasted below this answer. Obviously it is spam. Note the different URL, and all the keywords designed to mess up a spam filter hidden within a style tag so they don't appear in your email client. You should mark it as spam. Hope this helps.
