I've seen maybe 1 a year over the past 5 years. The best ones are the ones that are sent out by accident, like, cc'ing in the distribution list to EVERY employee by mistake.

I love it and hate it, I find it laughable that it just keeps on going, but it makes me sad that some humans cannot grasp what they are doing, nor learn from the example, and this is in huge global organisations too, full of supposedly professional, educated people!

My favourite one of all time though is when a reply-all chain (office wide, think 1000+ recipients....) was fully in its stride and someone attached a 10mb animated GIF.

Needless to say, I don't think the people managing the Outlook Exchange servers had a good day that day trying to cope with that one...

I've seen flamewars where someone would copy the entire text of Beowulf into the reply just so that everyone would have dozens of copies of it that would be dragged around every time someone added something to the chain.
