No, it doesn't.
Even worse: replies like yours (not arriving me through list mailer
because of CC recipient) are impossible to filter with any distinction
about gnuzilla.

List administrators did become crazy to attend DKIM requirements. If
DMARC and SPF is used, DKIM doesn't enhance mail at all and list mailers
can edit subjects and put footers.
