Mailman implements certain MIME structure manipulations as a per-list
policy setting.  Specifically, as a simple antivirus and resource
conservation measure, disallowed MIME types are removed.  I think this
is a deal-breaker for DKIM signatures, as MTAs aren't supposed to
break into MIME structure, and I don't think most sites want their
users doing signatures in the MUA.

But there is exactly one case where Mailman tries to fix up content
for formatting: at the list owner's option, if the only text part is
text/html, an external utility (usually lynx) may be used to convert
it to atext/plain.

There are third party patches that actually try to manipulate
formatted text.  A typical example is one to allow the footer to be
added *inside* the BODY element of a text/html part.  But AFAIK none
have made into the mainline.
