When should you reply to work e-mail with a thank you?

Do you guys really open them? Why not look at them in the reading pane and delete? On the blackberry you are kind of stuck opening them, though.

Actually you are being annoying. More so if you include exclamation points.

How about thank you n/t in the subject line?
