I just got a real sneaky one.  

It purported to be from:  "[log in to unmask]" and it said:

"I have visited this website and I found you in the spammer list. Is that true?"

It had an attachment containing one of the recent virii.

My question is, how much forethought did it take to send THAT one?

It isn't like some 'bot is just farming the addresses, someone is
actually associating who they are spoofing with a probable recipient!
