Why?

Because then you can sell that valid email address to someone else!

Unless of course the spammer is using a tag within the coding of the email that points to their computer with a reference number that relates to your email address. When your web browser or email software opens your email (even in the preview pane in Outlook) it tries to access this link, and hey presto the spammers know you opened their email and will send you more!
