spammer forging mail from me?

I just received the following message.  To me, the embedded
returned message makes it look like a spammer is forging a From:
address of pfaffben@msu.edu.  I sure as hell don't send mail with
Subject: "Thank you for subscribing to our News Group".  Does it
look like that to you guys, too, or is there something weirder
than that going on?

I've already reported this to abuse@uu.net.

Thanks,

Ben.
