Remember that in virus infected mails the address in the "From" part of the e-mail header is very rarely that of the person that sent it to you.

Almost certainly there is another person whose PC is infected and who has both your address and that of buyspace in their address books (or even just in their browser cache).

Basically, when a virus activates it searches address books and cached webpages for email addresses and then sends itself to them all, inserting randomly selected addresses from the same list as the "From" entry.
