Even worse is if one or more of the addressees are mailing lists, than you have no idea to whom you're distributing all your friends' addresses.

Here's an example that I just received, on a mailing list:
The family of X Y regrets to inform you that he passed
away on XXX XX, 2007. You are receiving this message because your

through his computer files.
Thank you for your time,
Y Family
