Modifying the message is already a common practice by list-servers  
and resigning a modified message may not overcome restrictions  
imposed by a From email-address policy.

I wonder if there are any legal ramification of modifying messages.
It is common for list software to modify messages, but one could
consider this a violation of copyright law.  If DKIM gets deployed,
legal ramifcations may become more probable.

May I encourage members of the DKIM list not to play lawyer?  There is
a mountain of statute and case law about copyright and derivative
works.  Modified messages are not a new issue, either in general, or
in connection with e-mail, and a few extra virtual postmarks are not
going to break any legal ground.

R's,
John
