Did it look anything like this?

>>Hi! How are you?
 
>>I send you this file in order to have your advice
 
>>See you later. Thanks  

But a reply does not bring up an email address in the 
TO: field?

If so it is virus attempt. Albiet harmless to Linux. I
believe the address part of the code is simple HTML
which strips the senders info. One thing you can do
however is to take a look at the long headers on the
email and you can find out what domain it was sent
from. In fact, a computer name and ip address should
be there as well. For example, This is from an email
sent from my home coputer:

Received: from quantum
(user-uivefem.dsl.mindspring.com [165.247.xx.xxx])
        by hall.mail.mindspring.net (8.9.3/8.8.5) with SMTP
id KAA09183

HTH.
