Spam with return receipt

Greetings,

In the last couple of days I have noticed a dramatic increase in
spam that has been tagged with return receipt requested.  I have
disabled this on my system, but have it set to notify me when a
message is so tagged.  I like to know who is spying on me.  ;-)

Until recently this was used rarely by the spammers.  In the last
few days more than half my spam is so tagged.  Has anyone else noticed
this increase?
