generally what you see here is spoofing - someone who forges the 'reply' address, there is no cause or reason to it, just random chance. [it's ridiculously easy to do this]

if you start seeing emails with CC addresses from your address book, THEN chances are that you have a bot, it will harvest your email contacts and use them to spam, problem is that once you get the bot your address book is distributed throughout the bot net, you will start seeing spoofed messages from yourself containing your contacts...

fun stuff eh?
