Another known one is a virus (sorry, dunno the name :-( ) which is flooding
my Hotmail inbox at the moment, which fakes messages as *from* some people in
the victims address book *to* other people in the victim's address book. The
version I've got seems mostly to be Italian or Spanish spam, usually
pornographic.
