Three 'out of place' emails appeared in my inbox today, 1 was a reply to an email I never sent and 2 were telling me two of my emails couldn't be sent, again, I never sent an email to either of these two and have never heard of their addresses.
Here are the emails I recieved, hopefully someone can explain to me if I have some sort of virus:

To: <exeat@designex.net>

Subject: Re: That movie
> See the attached file for details"
I've never sent an email to this person (never even heard of the address), I haven't sent any emails with the subject 'That movie' and what's more this email doesn't even have a file attached.
Number 2:

Like before I have no clue who that person is and haven't sent any emails, let alone ones with attachments or embedded images.

Again I haven't heard of this email address. This email also had an attachment named: "ATT00125.dat" which is 241 bytes. This email also claims there's no such address and hence why it failed to send which is incredibly strange.
Does anyone have any idea why I would be getting such emails? Interesting things to note are the last 2 were AOL emails and the first was a Hotmail address, I've heard of none of these people and they certainly aren't in my address book. I figured I must have a virus but so far my scanner shows nothing.
What's more is the last email with an attachment I recieved was from Rick Vanner 4 days ago and it was virus-free just like all other attachments I've opened. Anybody have any clues? Thanks.
