In a word, no, partly because it's unlikely you could describe enough
modifications to be generally useful (how do you describe throwing
away two MIME parts and adding a boilerplate header?), partly because
it's not clear how you'd use such info to make decisions about what to
accept, partly because it's even less clear how you'd detect lying.

Look at the archives of the various DKIM lists and you'll see ideas
like this flogged to death multiple times.

ARC basically starts with DKIM and adds something sort of like a DKIM
version of SRS, showing you the path the message took, not much about
what's in the message.

R's,
John
