Ian,

John is right.  Most headers are displayed selecting top-down and DKIM 
always selects bottom-up.  Headers likely displayed and selected to be 
signed need to be check by some protocol layer that ensures they are not 
illegally pre-pended.  Unfortunately, both SMTP and DKIM will not make 
these basic checks.  There seems to be a prevailing assumption undefined 
spam filters will instead intercede.  Who should victims blame when 
these checks are not made?  How can a secure system be specified?
