I've seen this kind of address on some spam e-mails, and I've read that they are sent directly into your mail reader while online, rather than being downloaded from your ISP's mail server. That's why they have the strange address details. Just what I read but as I have no effing idea how email works I'd probably believe anything I read :)
I haven't had any strangely addressed e-mail come in since I installed "Sygate Personal Firewall" (freeware) recently. Before that I'd get them regularly. What was scary were emails with unreadable babble in the sender and subject lines, but they turned out to be spam from Korea, and I don't have Korean language support installed.
