I agree wholeheartedly. If you're following the mailsig list you'll be
aware that I'm of the opinion that such breakage would be unacceptable
and any RFC2822 signing scheme _MUST_ survive existing lists -- either
by using the Sender header as the key, or allowing for a certain amount
of addition.
That's why I'm actually more likely to implement IIM rather than
DomainKeys, if I do time out and implement one of them before the group
is done merging the best parts of each. I'm holding off on it so far --
SES is perfectly sufficient for me for now.
Note that the problem with passage through mailing lists is a technical
omission which is easily fixable (and indeed seems fixed in IIM
already). It's not a fundamental design flaw which requires that we
change the _rest_ of the world in order to cope. That's a fairly
important distinction.
