I forget where I read this... if it was on this list I apologize for the
redundance.

There are fraud emails going around that redirect you to your bank's
real site while simultaneously popping up a login window from the
malicious server.  I'm not very familiar with the HTTP protocol, but
IIRC, it works by embedding HTML in a redirect response.  I'm not sure
if that constitutes valid HTTP or if it works against all browsers, or
only "that one"...
