The one that stands out is "multipart/signed" (from RFC1847) which drops to

I'm surprised.  That suggests something often adds the S/MIME signature after 
the DKIM signature, but as far as I know, S/MIME signatures are usually 
applied by the MUA.

Someone was hawking a box to sign and verify RFC 2015 PGP signatures at the 
enterprise firewall a few years back. That'd break DKIM signatures with a 
multipart/signed outermost type.
