But it wasn't. The FUD was actually increased, because the DKIM-Signature  
that was added doesn't cover the Authentication-Results header.

So, being of a suspicious disposition, I shall assume that the  
Authentication-Results was a bogus addition by some subsequent Bad Guy  
(who was smart enouth to fix the Received headers properly), and I shall  
accuse MIPAssoc of deliberately colluding with the Bad Guy by removine  
whatever signature has originally been present (or should have been, given  
some advertised policy of songbird :-) .

Half fixing a security issue is worse than not fixing it at all!
