No, but a message/generic-notification can be.
Can you give me some idea of what additional content you think would be
useful to include in all autogenerated replies?
Original-Recipient, at least. (I know you said that you think VERP is
required for this, but the common usage is already there, and at least
some systems conform to it).
Original-Message-ID would also be particularly useful if the generic
notifications were used for things like virus notifications.
I would also expect that specific applications would want to tailor their
own, as we already have with DSNs and MDNs. Vacation and virus
notifications would be obvious candidates.
