I vaguely recall that for a while spammers would copy the "to" address for the forged "from" address, on the theory that nobody killfiled himself. This led, of course, to a vogue for treating all messages that appeared to be from the addressee as spam -- on the theory that nobody sent messages to himself.
Which is far from accurate -- there's a workshop I want to attend, but I can't register for it until March, and I'm likely to forget about it before then, so I queued a message to be mailed to me on March first at ten A.M. But it's been a long, long time since I saw such a simple-minded spam.
