all of them forge their email address, what is the point of warning the 
"sender."  Even better, I wake up this am to 285 (and growing) messages 
below telling me that someone at skynet is trying to send me a virus 
message and it cc's 64 other people.  Nice.

And at least one of those other 64 will next time actually get a virus,
where all those addresses will get used to seed the address scraper.
Remember that hitting 'delete' usually doesn't actually wipe it off the
disk in most MUAs....
