There's been a good bit of MUA related discussion about
long time periods.

Our charter says explicitly that the following is out of
scope:

* Signatures that are intended to make long-term assertions beyond the
  expected transit time of a message from originator to recipient,
  which is normally only a matter of a few days at most.

The term transit however does include the IMAP and POP transport and the recipient may perform DKIM verifications at the MUA rather than elsewhere. The difference between 7 and 45 days does not make this a "long term" assertion.

Seems like it does to me: "a few days at most" is pretty clear.

Stephen.
