This might be a good time to remind people that MLMs in their
current form are not broken, and any proposal that requires them to
stop doing something that they're currently doing, like rewriting
messages or adding message tags, is a non-starter.

Since nothing requires anyone do anything with respect to DKIM, I'm
hard pressed to imagine something that doesn't meet that requirement.

I was thinking of the various proposals to rewrite From: addresses, to
outlaw subject tags and message footers, and otherwise change the
behaviors that MLM users expect in order to make them conform to
various ideas of how DKIM and/or ADSP are supposed to work.

But nowhere has anyone suggested REQUIRING any MLM to do any of those  
things.

They are all offered as suggesstions for things MLMs MIGHT do do get  
themselves out of such DKIM-caused troubles as they find themselves in.
