I'm sorry, I made a mistake. DKIM is still verifying christopherschultz.net.

But, munging the 'From' address does not affect the reply, because the reply uses the `In-Reply-To` header.

No. In-Reply-To is a header that contains the message ID of the message being replied to.

Munging 'From' by mailing list does often include putting the original From into a *Reply-To* header, which causes replies to go to the oauthopr instead of the mailing list.

By the way, if the DKIM is corrupted, this email should normally be rejected, as it might sent from an attacker.

Hogwash.

Email often gets modified in technically important but harmless ways in transit. For example, There is a very common Sendmail config which re-encodes any mail arriving with non-ASCII to 7-bit-clean Quoted-Printable. Some MTAs will re-wrap and re-encode messages with over-long lines.
