Anyone can do this, there's no trickiness invloved:

From: spammer () aol com
To: spammer () aol com
Bcc: yourboss () shouldbeusingaol com, everyone () else com, etc.

The message that comes through looks exactly like the one you described.
Nothing wrong with sending mail to yourself, especially is you have
multiple
personalities like me (and me).

I know it was kinda a moronic (is that a word) question.  The 
thing that got my interest was the using the same address in 
the from and to fields.  I just thought it might be something 
new that the spammers were tring to get by blacklists.

I was just wondering if anyone else was getting spam from AOL 
mail servers with the from address the same as the to 
address.  This just started showing up in my bosses mail box.
