Genuine curiosity, stupidity or boredom, there are lots of reasons.

Checking if the price of penis enlargement pills have dropped to an affordable level?

Generally speaking thats highly unlikely, viruses are however sent in attachments added to emails

Read emails remotely, ideally as text as opposed to as html, via something like mail 2 web, dont open attachments without scanning even if they are from trusted sources and get yourself a decent anti malware(anti virus and anti spyware) program and use it.

I always read my spam. The ones where people want me to look after 35 billion dollars for them whilst they go and die are hilarious.. although, in the back of my mind I always wonder whether they may actually be real people and are waiting on my reply.. close to death..

I get house plans in my junk email regularly. I read them, but nothing else though.
