Subject: Re: [ietf-dkim] DKIM vs. MIME

Although I see the point in this particular case, it seems to me that
it would be a hopeless rathole to try to catalog and account for all
of the semantics of every possible header line and the set of possible
modifications to each header that do or do not make a semantic
difference.  Looking at the RFCs, I can't tell whether the boundary
string in Content-Type: is supposed to be case sensitive, but the
addresses in To:, From:, Cc;, and so forth certainly are, and I
wouldn't want to get into an argument about whether the Subject: line
is.

That's my perspective as well.

PS: Needless to say, this supports my observation that the number of
list managers that don't break DKIM signature is insignificant.

For now, anyway.  It's obvious to me, though, that a lists BCP from this WG 
would be an extremely good idea.
