I like to keep, track of how much spam makes it into my mailbox (to see how effective my RBLs, are) and sometimes I'm not sure if a given email is spam or a virus generated mailing. These are typically ones containing attachments.
Do spammers ever send '.pif', '.exe' or '.scr' files Do they ever send zipped files? Or are all of these most likely to be Windows viruses?
Spammers do all sorts of odd things, but sending executable and archived attachments is extremely rare. Most spammers work hard to get the message to eyeballs without depending on the user to work for it.
Note that I don't see much point in distinguishing between Windows worm mail and spam, except that the obvious worms are never worth trying to dissect to identify associated entities.
