Bank phishing e-mail with Paypal ID

I get the usual large amount of bank phishing e-mails which I always delete without opening. However, since accidentally deleting a genuine e-mail I always look through the sender's info to check.
Today I got an e-mail supposedly from a bank and when checking through the sender info there was the following wording:
Message-Id:[EMAIL="13653@paypal. co m"]13653@paypal. co m[/EMAIL] (I've deleted some numbers in case anyone accidentally clicks on it!!)
The e-mail came from a bank I deal with, but do not use for any Paypal transactions, but it seems to suggest that someone has got my e-mail address from Paypal'
Has anyone else noticed this? I've e-mailed Paypal to see what they say.
