Or spearphishing. Send a secretary something that looks like a nice business proposal, then when she forwards it to her boss it's a link to some XSS attack.
Should be the other way around. You forward an email that's "obviously" spam, and then the abuse guys go "what do you mean, this is a regular project status update!"
you can use it to send "for your eyes only" stuff.
example: send an image to Mary and tell her not to send it to anyone else. She inevitably sends it to someone else, but the image magically changes to another image that says a message, maybe it says "DAMN IT MARY, I SAID DON'T SEND IT TO ANYONE ELSE!"
