When I was trying to figure out how the IETF should mitigate DMARC list damage, I did a bunch of experiments. Those included wrapping messages in various ways, including the one suggested here. The wrapping worked fine, but few mail programs and no webmail displayed them in usable ways. Perhaps ironically, the older the mail program, the better it worked. Alpine was fine, easy to see the internal message and reply to it. Roundcube web mail is also OK, but it went steeply downhill from there. So we did the author rewrite and forward hack instead.
