This has happened to me several times.  I even contacted AOL to find out if 
there is something on my computer that could be doing this.  They assured me 
that if I did not find the email, supposedly having come from me, in my own 
"Sent Mail" file then it was probably some hacker using my email address on their 
emails.  I even scanned my own computer to see if I had the "W32/Netsky.P at mm" 
virus hidden there.  Fortunately I do not have it.  Since I first encountered 
this problem, I have been unable to determine who has been sending out emails 
under my name.

Moreover, I am still having nearly all of the Dialogue at wedgeblade.net 
(including yours) emails sent to me showing up in my "Spam Folder."  AOL seems to be 
having some sticky problems in their relentless effort to rid spam from their 
clients' email.
