I disagree.  The preferred solution would be to have the MLM re-sign the 
message on distribution.  That way, when the MLM receives the message and 
performs DKIM verification, that verification could be recorded by the 
addition of an Authentication-Results: header as passing.  Then the new 
signature added by the MLM would protect that header's content (i.e. the 
original "pass"), even if the MLM's modifications invalidate the author's 
signature.
