Indeed. I've seen a few of them (I believe all coming /ostensibly/ via the Evolution mailing list) which offer this link to read the "undelivered" mail. If you examine the message's source, however, you'll see that the link which purports to be to www.ximian.com is actually fake and in reality triggers the executable code contained in the message. On a related note, I've seen quite a few which also have fake antivirus taglines which claim the message has been scanned and is free of malicious code.
