No, automatic return-receipts are.
If you don't have the discipline and respect to use requests wisely,
why do you expect such responses from your recipients?
If something is important to you, tell me, and I'll respond if I
care enough.
Why would you want to automatically remind me of something that is
_not_ important to you?
Your original request just sounds like reversing the default from
"mostly no r-r, with manual exceptions" to "mosty _DO_ r-r, with
manual exceptions", it actually requires you still to make a manual
choice...

You've been given technical details elsewhere.
I once thought it would make things easier for me and worked with
it myself, until I realized it didn't improve anything really, just
added more overhead for the sender creating and the recipient
dealing with it.
Wasted effort compared to an editor macro to add some line like
"please acknowledge receipt and respond ASAP".
If you just want to reverse the default, add such line to your
$signature, and delete it when not desired.

Practice has shown that it is not best practice.
