Good. Otherwise we can drop section A.4 and quit worrying about signatures surviving mailings lists and mailings lists resigning messages. BTW: is the last paragraph in A.4 up to date?

  Here's what I'm saying:

 Every description of a "replay attack" is also a description of a
 mailing list.

But if it is the action of just sending the mail by the mailing list and not the forwarding (as you said you are NOT saying above), then this is no different than anybody sending mail.

So I don't see your point.
