Wouldn't you know it, this listserve made a liar out of me. The S/MIME
sig survived as the list properly retained the From: header and didn't add
anything to the beginning or end of the message content. This is the
first time I've seen an S/MIME sig survive a mailing list, but I'd say
it's the exception that proves the rule.
I could verify your S/MIME signature.
The additions of text by Mail Lists should not cause signature to be
broken, because if you examine the email with addition, this new text
I (should be) added not as part of existing MIME component but as new
text part. Its another question entirely that mail clients have problems
when you have multiple parts where only one part is actually signed.
