Huh? If we could write down the changes that lists make to the mail
they send, we would have done so. My list managers have been known to
remove or reorder MIME parts and flatten HTML into text. I even run
some quaint lists where the editor hand-edits the messages. No, those
aren't "illegitimate", they're standard practice and have been for
decades.

Perhaps they are, but there could be some value in trying to define a set
of reversible list modifications which would permit DKIM signatures to
still be useful. That's not to mandate those modifications, or to forbid
others, but as guidance. It could be a way forward.
