my GF has been getting a bunch of these for someone else that has the same first initial as her. After getting a few very personal email replies obviously directed at this other person, she attempted contact (as these folks were replying to an email this other person had sent). There was much confusion between the two of them until I suggested that I look at the headers. It seems that this other person had configured their mail client to set the "Reply To" header to be my GF's email. Unfortunately, even upon trying to explain to this other person what was going on, this other person won't/can't fix it so she is apparently going to be stuck never having anyone be able to reply to anything she sends out. It's kind of frustrating, because it's such a simple fix/problem, but seems to be out of the realm of non-techie folks.
