Someone who wanted to harm your online reputation/character and could join many forums pretending to be you and post pics, flames, etc. all under your name using a free hotmail or gmail account that looks similar to your real email account. maybe pau1graham@hotmail.com (a one rather than an L)
For people who don't really know you (like potential employers) that might be enough of a character assassination to not get you into an interview or for them to have general negative feelings towards you. I suppose that's one good reason to use GPG and sign all emails.
