> The first time a sender emails the recipient they are sent a link (also in the recipient's signature) to a page providing expected response times for various email forms along with the option to convert your already-sent email into a short-response form, e.g. yes/no.
This is pretty much what Inbox Pro already does, no? I tested it by sending an email, and got an automated response:
> Hi [my name],
> Your email is #85 in Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten's inbox. You can __optimize your message__ so it will be easier to answer.
Clicking the link leads to a webpage showing average response times for Yes/No questions (5 days), Short questions (I think 14 hours?), Long questions (3 days), and FYIs (3 days). I converted my message into an FYI and submitted it.
I think the only difference in what you proposed is your version limits it to "the first time a sender emails the recipient", while this system would presumably give the same treatment to future emails from me.
