[ sent last week but got stuck due to a laptop upgrade which helpfully reset all my mail settings to the defaults ]

I think that draft-kucherawy-dkim-transform-02 is getting at what I was 
originally thinking.
In my opinion, MLMs will *always* need to munge, because they will never know 
if an arbitrary
receiver will trust their non-munged mail.  Giving the receivers a way to 
un-munge (if they
can and/or want and/or trust) would be a productive path forward out of this 
situation.

We already have a couple of ways to do reversible message munging, starting with MIME message wrapping. In principle it works fine, in practice it's awful because MUAs don't show wrapped messages consistently and often in ways that are painful, e.g., you can see the original author address but there's no button you can push to respond to it.

Unwrapping a MIME attachment is a lot easier than the proposed DKIM unmunging but I doubt either is going to show up in MUAs any time soon. Perhaps you could do it in a mail gateway.

R's,
John
