SPAM "Read Receipt" requests in Outlook 2003

I have noticed the latest trend for spammers is to apply a "read receipt"
request to junk mail. This receipt request is fired when attempting to
delete all mail, even when the junk mail has been routed to the Deleted or
Junk Mail folders.

Why would Outlook fire this receipt request query on mail in these folders
and is there any way to turn it off? (I'm sure they are hoping for some
percentage of people who mistakenly click "yes")
 
Outlook prompts because that's what it's supposed to do based on your
settings. Go to Tools -> Options -> Email Options... -> Tracking Options...
to change the settings.
