along the same lines, did you know that you can get an authenticated email that the listed sender never sent to you? If the third party can get a server to send it to themselves (for example Google forms will send them an email with the contents that they want) they can then forward it to you while spoofing the from: field as Google.com in this example, and it will appear in your inbox from the "sender" (Google.com) and appear as fully authenticated - even though Google never actually sent you that.
This is another example where you would think that "who it's for" is something the sender would sign but nope!
I asked about this on the PGP mailing list at one point, and I think I was told that the best solution is to start emails with "Hi <recipient>," which seems like a funny low-tech solution to a (sad) problem.
