Gmail address matching craziness

This is so crazy it must be blogged about. I got an email which I should have gotten even though it was not actually addressed to me. You are thinking that I am crazy because email does not work that way. Normally I would agree, but check this out:
An email sent to azechoski@gmail.com was delivered to me.
Note that my real address is: azeckoski@gmail.com

Here are the headers to prove it (chopped out some extra bits to protect the sender):
