    Spoofed email, spammers do that so you can't tell where the email is from, just look at the email header

    Just by looking at the header would give an indication of this obvious junk. Delete and move on.

    I think it's your sub-conscious telling you that you really need Men's Health. Maybe when you fall asleep you sleep walk to your pc then send yourself emails that you really want to receive.

    Very doubtful, the only issue I see from Gmail is their own security loophole, which I believe still exists.

    For example, anyone who sends email to abcxyz[at]mail[dot]com, might even find its way into abc[dot]xyz[at]gmail[dot]com
