It's pretty well established that trying to reconstruct a message
based on a validation failure is a bad practice.  If a mailing list
wants to play well with DKIM, it can add its own signature and sign an
Authentication-Results header to say that it validated the original
(or use ARC for that).  Barring that, a failed validation really needs
to stay a failed validation, and the receiving domain shouldn't be
guessing what might have happened and trying to reverse it.
