I wouldn't suggest to do that. This would clearly mix distinct things. 
Return-Receipt has to do with the MUA and MUA things are done in the header
of a mail. MIME has to do with mail bodies, that means with the information
which is transported by mail. Therefore return-receipt should NEVER generate
a new body part (even if it is possible).
