I am actually impressed that they got back to you within a day

I just noticed that I received an e-mail confirmation about check-in for this flight two days ago (when the check-in window for the flight first opened).

Very strange.
If you received the check-in notification, then your email was associated with the booking, not just the check in. As that email is sent to the email in the booking.

Does not clear up why that would be the case though. Have you used a public PC that may have remembered (and pre-filled) the email address later on? Or perhaps mentioned the email address to a support or ticket desk - who may have accidentally applied it to the wrong booking?
