How do I disable responding to an 'X-Confirm-Reading-To" header in incoming email?

Question

I am receiving emails with 'X-Confirm-Reading-To:' and 'Notice-Requested-Upon-Delivery-To:' headers. I consider the automatic response to these headers a privacy violation. How can I disable all such "return receipt request" functions?

ok the attached base64text file, which by the way is the message, your provider or your SPAM tool flagged it as spam. With the following report
''X-Ham-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system "harvey.tchmachines.com", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label
similar future email. If you have any questions, see
root\@localhost for details.''
The original html, which incidentally simply says "Whats Up" contains a link to this image http://mxsvr.net/we6xgr4zsjbf/signature.gif. The we6xgr4zsjbf is probably a bas64 representation of your email address, or some other value that he has linked to your email address.
Interestingly when I tried to go to that internet address, my anti virus blocked the attempt with the following message.
'''ESET NOD32 Antivirus - Alert
