Yes, I received several replies back but that was the sole extent of our contact on the Internet or real life.
Received headers show the previous mail servers that the email passed through through on its way to you. There can be many; each server adds another.
See https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt § 3.6.7, "Trace fields" and Appendix A.4 for an example. (Or, press control-U in some mail clients to see the source of an email you received to see all the headers.)
- proksoup 12y agoOh ... My money is that they (the celebrity) viewed you on linkedin, and that is the data linkedin used to make the connection. That's certainly what I do before replying to strangers, google them and look at things.
- jamiesonbecker 12y agoGood thought! That's quite possible, and he may not have shown up in my "These people viewed your profile" list for various reasons.
