Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Problem
Nextcloud Mail does not support requesting delivery notifications. Many users in business environments need a way to confirm that an outgoing message was accepted by the receiving server.
Describe the solution you'd like
Improvement
Add an option in the compose window that inserts the standard header for delivery notifications (Disposition-Notification-To). Display a note that the receiving server may ignore the request.
Purpose
Provide users with a basic traceability feature that is common in standard mail clients and required in many corporate workflows.

Define the option for requesting delivery notifications, add the Disposition-Notification-To header when selected, and display the warning that receiving servers may ignore it; verify the resulting message and note in the compose flow.
