Please excuse the apparent ignorance, but how come (on Outlook Express) I seem to be receiving spam mostly that isn't addressed to me specifically, but to someone with maybe a portion of my email address, and sometimes with a totally different address?

Posting Whiz
Because spammers do that, to increase the amount of recipients. I don't know if they use a special program to do that, but they take a chunk out of any recipients mail and send it across the internet, annoying hundreds maybe thousands of people.
