Good point.

Don't know...  Presumably the likelihood of that depends a bit on what email
client this person uses - ie how easily malware could have found out my
address.  I'm guessing - but maybe this is wrong? - that those of us who use
either RO clients, or obscure Windows ones (me) are much less likely to have
the problem, unless the malware thingy scans every file on a machine looking
for possible addresses.
