I'm aware of RFC 4871 section 5.4. "The From header field MUST be
signed", so here's where signing non-existing headers is of interest.

Sender does not need to be signed if it does not exist. "signing fields
*present* in the message such as Date, Subject, Reply-To, Sender, and
all MIME header fields are highly advised." (my emphasis). Signing a
non-existing Sender header to prevent a ML from adding it is bull in my
opinion, and who does that should not complain.
