Generally agreed w/ all this.

To preserve digital signatures now and in the future, and make mbox
archives actually useful, a minimum modification policy is needed.

As you can clearly see, both the HTML archives and the &quot;mbox&quot;<br>
archives have corrupted this message, it will not verify. Do not<br>
try to say this case is trivial, the problem itself is not trivial,<br>
it&#39;s gratuitous, and it applies to all matching messages... text,<br>
code, binary inline... that&#39;s dangerous.<br>
<br>
Do not try to say this corruption prevents spam, it does not.<br>
Spammers simply subscribe to the list and harvest everything<br>

<br>

Yes... these other mirrors, archives, analysis, journalism, and<br>
