If you do, please change the name to "DKIM_CONFORMANCE_METHOD" or
similar. But I don't think this is a very good API, because
"AUTHOR_IS_LIST"[1] and "DKIM_ARMOR" (= encapsulate messages) are
independent. Of course if encapsulation is used, there's very little
point in rewriting "From". But it doesn't interfere with doing so.
Footnotes:
[1] Barf - can we name this something that isn't a lie, like
"LIST_REWRITES_FROM", or better "LIST_HIJACKS_FROM" to distinguish it
from the behavior of anonymous lists?
