I still have no idea what headers you'd consider to be technical.  Message-ID?  
Expires?
(Don't tell me, it's not helpful.)

I have trouble imagining that many mailing lists would make that
change and only that change and would otherwise leave the messasge
untouched.

In any event, as we've now said several times, the Content-Type attack
is specifically described in RFC 6376.  I see that the perl and python
DKIM modules sign the content-* headers by default.
