Telling people that it is reasonable to add a chain of A-R headers to
messages with broken signatures, and expecting recipients to apply some
ill defined algorithm to decide how much they believe each level of
alleged signature.
I would really like to remove l= from DKIM to make it clear that it is not
a good idea to even try to guess the history of a message based on
signatures that don't verify and cover the whole messag.
R's,
John
