A design flaw or a feature on mail protocol (it depends on who
are you talking to) makes possible for anyone to setup a fake
origin address. The mail you received is probably a virus/worm
or spam which took advantage of this feature in order to make
you more confident about the origin of the mail, but I'm sure
it wasn't sent from gnu.org.

If you want more details, please send me the full mail headers
I will explain it to you.

Best regards!
