2 MIME questions re: message/rfc822

Scenario:

I post to a mailing list, and include a multipart, one of
which is a message/rfc822.  My MUA software takes the entire message
as it lives in the message store, and sends it off.  When my copy
comes back from the mailing list, the PGP signature is busticated.

Why?  Because the first few lines outbound looked like:

+++ Start outbound copy here
------- =_aaaaaaaaaa0
Content-Type: message/rfc822
Content-ID: 
<3230(_dot_)1099595697(_dot_)2(_at_)turing-police(_dot_)cc(_dot_)vt(_dot_)edu>
Content-Description: forwarded message

<valdis(_at_)turing-police(_dot_)cc(_dot_)vt(_dot_)edu>; Thu, 4 Nov 2004 
14:12:35 -0500
+++ end outbound copy

(Yes, one long line - that was done by a local procmail rule).

+++ End as-received

1) I am presuming that the mailing list is at fault for unwrapping the
Received: line? (or more correctly, "the piece of software that did the
unwrapping should be fixed")?

2) Am I at fault for including the mbox-style 'From ' line, or is
the mailing list (or whoever did it) at fault for removing it?
