What is cause of "To: undisclosed recipients" on an email message?

I received an email message that appears to come from me that is addressed to
"undisclosed-recipient". It was sent at a time when I was asleep and my PC
was turned off. This is the second time in two days that this has happened.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
don't worry.
The sender has all recipients put only in Bcc field, (nothing in To: and Cc:
field.) That's the reason 'undisclosed recipient'.

To clarify: The message that I received appears to be "From:" my email
address, but it's not. The "To:" address field is blank. I tried sending an
email using only the BCC adddress for the "To:" address as Sharad suggested.
It came back "From:" AND "To:" me. It does not show "Undisclosed-recipient"
like the two messages that raised the original question. Also, in both cases
there was no message body and no attachments appeared. Neither my "Sent"
folders nor my wife's (we use the same connection) shows any message was sent
that matches this situation.
I have run "Ad-aware" and "Spybot-Search and Destroy" on a regular basis. I
use a firewall and my service provider prescreens all email for virus and for
junk mail. I cannot send the same message to multiple addresses as
separarate messages without over-riding a warning message for each one after
the first.
Is someone playing games or is there a possibility of a real problem?
Thanks,
Arthur
 
It's spam or a virus carrier message. Just ignore it.
