Please humor my ignorance and explain how a subject line (which is
(over)signed) can be dealt with in the current DKIM spec?
I get how footers can be dealt with, read appended. At least as long
as DKIM only signs a given amount of the (original) body. (Though HTML
(read: MIME structures) can complicate this.) - Or are you referring
to something else?
You know what the original header was via the signature. You can take
the delta of the current subject line and
remove any additions and validate the signature. Whether you're happy
with the additions is a different concern,
If I were constructing a spam filter out of it, I'd give a lot of
prejudice to anything added, but that's outside of
what you can do within the bounds of the spec.
