Wrong email address

[masona]

Emails are delivered using a reliable, connection-oriented, Internet transport. This is why Emails don't just "go missing", like flaky people claim happens to them when they don't want to admit receiving a message. However, with the abundance of Spam and Spam filters, Emails are capable of never arriving. This is not because the transport is unreliable, because it isn't.

Softus, I'm not clued up on this email thingy but have you any idea how I got this email into my Inbox address which isn't even my email address

I right click onto properties on Jim which is Jim@B**********.com

I do not normally do this forwarding on thing but I thought this case is exceptional.
