How and Why is this done?

If I send mail to myself it comes back to me!

721048 2008-11-18 03:07:00 Most likely is that the person sending the email has a group of people that the email has been sent to and they have done it correctly and used the BCC field for all the email addresses.
This way anyone who receives the email can't see who else it has gone to.
It does mean that there needs to be something in the To: field so they have just put their own email address in there.
