I am not as convinced as you: - this modifies the body, thus breaking signatures. when mail gets back to the same domain (sender and final recipient in same domain), this may cause problems. I agree that many lists do break signatures so the receiving site should cope with this, but I am not sure they really do. - the code is not trivial because of the MIME structure. - because of the points above and may be other issues, consensus is hard to reach. > This is what I do for all the lists I run.
