It's not just that they send out e-mails... they send out e-mails with
clickable links... it wouldn't be too hard to say:

Spam the world NOT through facebook, but to completely mimic a standard
facebook message.  Have a clickable link that shows the login URL, but
points to bad site, bad site drops in code and redirects you back to the
actual facebook login page.

Done right, could be real sexy.

Has anyone heard of digital signatures for e-mail? :)

Yep!

Jeff Chan is really quick with adding malicious URLs, and as you
know--facebook sends out emails when you get a message there.
