Probably to "******@hotmail.cc", considering that the domain is valid. The
person who received your email is probably trying to figure out why he got
that message; or maybe he just attributed it as spam.
Something similar was a potential problem for my friends. Somebody on
"nvbell.net" has the same user name that I used on "pacbell.net". All part
of the SBC family. I don't use that user name, now, because I was getting
too much spam in that account.

Maybe you made a typo, once, and your automatic completion list has
remembered it.
> May I have any virus?
Yes, you "may"; but I do not have any to send you, so you will have to wait
for somebody who does have one to come along and sent it to you.
Oh. Wait. Yes, you "might" have a virus infection on your computer; but
viruses do not, normally, make such insignificant changes on your computer.
That is, this change does not seem to be an indicator of viral infection. To
eliminate the possibility that you might have a viral infection, just make
sure that you have an anti virus program, with the latest definitions,
installed, and run it to scan your disk drives.
