By responding to these messages, you're only confirming that your email address is active. Another thing you shouldn't do is click the "remove me" link in the message. Links in email can point to an IP address other than what is being represented or referenced. The best thing you can do is delete the message.
Many free email service providers (MSN hotmail, Yahoo!, AOL or GMail) will allow you to easily report it as spam if you received it through their email systems.
