I also looked at the headers, and didn't see much interesting.
It would be nice to have the IP address of the originating host,
but they don't seem to have that. 

Not all, but most mail servers record the IP address of the
source of a message, making it harder to forge mail.

I suppose statistically it is more likely. Someone who reads once
a year isn't likely to read at the exact time. Either way, it 
does seem strange.
