Per Player's Guide page 273: If every imaginary line you trace to a target passes through or touches a solid obstacle, you don't have line of effect to the target.
Does an enemy qualify as a solid obstacle?

Creatures don't block line of effect because they don't fill their space (RC 200)

Thank you for the info!  Can a creature change another's cover status from "cover" to "superior cover"?

Good to know. A creature can move in front of another to provide basic cover but not Superior Cover to a creature already in cover.

This is not quite true. An ally providing cover only does so for a ranged attack. No other attacks are affected, and general conditions that require cover are not satisfied by the intervening-ally conditional cover for ranged attacks. Something like "The monster can only make this attack when it has cover or concealment" wouldn't work, for example - even if the attack were taking place during the ranged attack, the creature does not technically have cover.
A bit nitpicky, but sometimes it matters.

It's also worth noting that providing cover to a creature already in cover does nothing.
