Mark, 
 Occasionally I have gotten these e-mails too.  I think it has to do with the return reciept information that some people tag their e-mails with.  If you read the message, it sends off a "read" message, if you toss it before reading, it sends off a "not read" message. (I think)  I usually toss anything that does not have a good subject anyway.
