It doesn't look like the message was mailed to me.

This is what is known as address masking.  Address masking is the process in which your address is inserted into the email as the recipient, but the email shows a completely different recipient.

 

Another similar type of tactic is known as address spoofing, in which junk mail appears to be sent by you that really was not. 

 

Below is a link that informs you on how to read the header of an email.  From this information you can determine where the email was sent from, where it has traveled to get to you, and who was the actual recipient.
