In the last month my girlfriend and I have been getting a number of
spams which have been addressed To: me and Cc: to her.  This seems to
be a new spammer trick.  Use not just a database of email addresses
but a database of To: Cc: headers combined in an attempt to get
through people's filters.  And it worked because when she saw that it
was addressed to me she read them, and then told me about them.  This
must have been scraped from some greeting card site or someplace but I
can't deduce any association.

Not sure what can be done about those other than just to ignore them.
Note that SA was able to tag these just fine from the contents.  But
it would be useful if there were a way to make use of this
association.

P.S. I received the first one like this in November with one style and
then all of the others just recently with a second different style.
