This was part of the discussion about what sort of body modifications to
allow. We ended up with optionally ignoring white space changes, and l= to
ignore added text. My impression is that neither is useful. Very few
messages pass with relaxed canonicalization that don't also pass strict.
Using relaxed rather than strict is quite different between header and body.
It is fairly frequent to find reflowed headers, especially with MLM handling,
while bodies remain mostly untouched, except for CR additions and removals.
Of course, X-MIME-Autoconverted rewrite bodies beyond strict/ relaxed range.
(That's the original mistake.)
Well yeah, welcome to mail UNCOL land.
It'd be enough to add the subject tag on new messages to address the other
changes. Using l= works well with a wide range of mailing lists. However,
it only works with plain text.
I suppose if by wide range you mean lists that do not add subject tags and
do not handle html or multipart bodies. That may be common among nerd
lists but take a look beyond mailman and I don't think it is.
