She did not add you - she added IL-Old-News. She signed up at a site that invited everyone in her address book to join her. No, it is not appropriate to add this list to her 'connection', however many people do this without realizing it. It is a simple mistake that anyone can make with the click of a single button. Just ignore the email, don't click the link to join and let the subject drop.
