I think your last sentence is what I was getting at. One could have a 7-bit canonicalization that does the same sort of thing MIME does, I suppose, at least in terms of content conversion. Not having given it much thought yet, though, I suspect doing this at the MIME level is more likely to be successful rather than at the message level, which is where DKIM lives. I could swear I heard that idea presented recently... _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
