I disagree about "very good reasons for footers on many lists". Meta
information belongs into the message headers, not the body. DKIM-signed
messages are letters, not postcards, and no non-totalitarian postal
service would dare open your letter and scribble junk on the contents.
Stick to the envelope, Mr. Postman. ;-)

As for part two: If someone messes with cryptographically signed content
en route, it is not the signer's fault at all. Alice's responsibility
ended when she hit the send button. Calling for Bob, the recipient of
the messed up message, to figure out why parts were broken by the
transporting third party does not make any sense either. He who messes
is at fault.

I am not saying DKIM is perfect, but it is easy for mailing list admins
to not break signatures -- just leave existing data alone.

P.S.: We're drifting far away from Postfix here.
