fwiw, this list appears to be breaking your signatures (as I expect it 
will do to my signature as well.)
I agree with your assertion that S/MIME is very MLM friendly.  Most of 
the lists I am on do not break my signatures (even lists that add 
footers and modify subjects,) and those that do can be easily configured 
to work nicely.  Kudos to the designers of S/MIME and MIME :-)
In fact, most of my frustration with DKIM is because I naively expect it 
to work like S/MIME.  This isn't the fault of DKIM.  My expectations are 
just unreasonable.
