actually, they don't. or rather, there is more than one de-facto set of
modifications and therefore efforts to reverse the modifications is in the
realm of heuristics, which means sometimes they will work and sometimes they
won't.
IME, my heuristic algorithm fails more often because senders "oversign", by
signing technical such as Content-Type: or Content-Transfer-Encoding: than
because it meets an unknown transformation, albeit I only see a limited number
of mailing lists.
It's obviously unreliable. In the cases where it works, it just restores the
original From: field and renames the other one to Munged-From:. No accept/
reject decisions based on it.
