Looks like a mail loop, perhaps? I've suspended this user and cleaned up the noise.

May be, but how come he/she could change the status from Open to Answered if it's just a mail loop?

I haven't checked whether this is really what happened here; but replying by email to a question in the Open state automatically causes a transition to Answered, so that part of it is consistent.

(To clarify, the above is only the case when the email message comes from a user who isn't the question owner.)
