If by "expectations of several legacy mail usages" you mean
"reasonable expectations of well-established mail usages",
and not "unreasonable expectations of nearly-obsolete mail
usages", then sure.  :-)

So having granted that the above proposed solution is
unacceptable, how can we move on to find an acceptable solution?

Some days ago I tentatively suggested signing only part of
some message parts, in particular part of the Subject header
(excluding any future additions of "[list-identification]"),
assuming that such an approach had doubtless already been
suggested elsewhere.  I was expecting to hear either "been
there, tried that, won't work", or (a polite version of) "that's
a dumb idea because...", but I've heard nothing.  I can't quite
make myself believe that you're all rendered speechless by my
sheer genius, so... why *won't* something like that work?
