The one that always amazes me is how many legal firms think it's helpful to send a raw .doc or .pdf file without even putting a sentence in the email to say what it's about... very irritating by the tenth time around.
Given that I've been getting a whole rash of spam lately that consists of unexplained PDF attachments (something that seems to get right through Bayesian spam filters because there are no plaintext keywords to filter on), any such things are likely to be trashed unopened by me.
My Bayesian filter very quickly decided that "Attachment name ending in .pdf" is a sure sign of spam.
