Yes, they're return receipts.  I just pulled up the a gazillion of them in MailWatch.  Told the report function to find messages that contained "Read:" in the subject.  I only glanced at a couple, but they were read receipts.  The interesting thing was there weere also "Not Read": messages.  It appears that when the messages were deleted w/o being read, that also generated a notice.  I'd never seen that before, but then I virtually never use read receipts and don't automatically allow them.

HTH...
