the unwrapping should be fixed")?
This issue is very troublesome, to me at least.
The RFC seems clear: signatures apply to the message as transmitted over
the wire and changing bytes in a signed part of a message is a no-no.
But I'm unhappy about that RFC. For example: If a mailing list processor
is coupled with an MTA that accepts long lines, the list processor can
be left with the task of transmitting a 5000-character line to all list
subscribers. I've run into quite a few other similar problems.
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?
Those are two questions. The first is clear: Anything a sending program
labels as message/rfc822 should have RFC[2]822 syntax, not berkeley
mbox syntax. The second is IMO arguable and less important.
