Forward all of them as attachments to their boss if it is email and they are using their account.

First, save and document every single instance of the abuse. You will need this later for proof. Second, check your employee manual for your company's policy on abusive behavior, and to see what the grievance process is. Third, follow the company's procedure as best you can, and don't give up until the abuse has stopped AND you're satisfied with the company's response.
Most of all, remember that this person is sick and what he or she is writing should not be taken to heart. People like this person can hurt people very deeply, so don't allow him/her to hurt your feelings. Look at the person as an unprofessional loon who doesn't belong in an office. I hope your company responds correctly to this situation. If you aren't satisfied with how they handle it, you may need to consider getting a lawyer.

Forward the emails to your boss/their boss. Most companies have a policy regarding these issues. This can be a form of harrassment. There is no reason for this type of behavior. I wouldn'g even deal with it myself. I'd forward to my boss/their boss and insist that something be said to this person. If your upper management refuses to do anything--remind them of the harrassment policy and that this is illegal in every workplace. I'm sure your state has a policy on this. You can contact Labor Department of your state. Most importantly SAVE EVERYTHING Documentation is very important and do not retaliate and risk your own job/reputation.

I agree with the second answer, but keep copies for yourself. You should actually save the emails. If it is regular mail, copy them and give them to the colleague's boss.

This is illegal. It could be considered as a hostile work environment. You need to tell your supervisor. If he/she doesnt do anything to stop it, then you need to keep going up the ranks. If nothing is still done about it, you need to contact your local EEOC (equal employment opp. commission) If no one puts a stop to this, they could be sued.
