Not on a general list that is not used by computer nerds it does not. And on MANY mail clients it is either difficult or impossible to see the headers. List footers existed long before DKIM came along, and the design of DKIM intentionally did not take them into account. As I said, broken by design. And the fact is, the only reason for it was to be jerks and try to force mailing lists to change for "reasons", since it would certainly be possible to check the original body of the message with DKIM and ignore the list footers. Even something as simple as "DKIM will not check anything past the first signature delimiter" would have solved all the problems, except that the "problem" was a religious one, not a technical one. -- Apple broke AppleScripting signatures in Mail.app, so no random signatures.
