I know several mail admins (small-scale, not any of the big freemail
providers!) who have spam filters set to give spam points when
signature verification or SPF fail, in outright nonconformance to the
RFCs.  if you have subscribers at such sites, the "remove broken
signatures and Authentication-Results, then add your own" procedure
can be useful.

OTOH, I've had occasional cases (not even one a year) where it was
useful to reconstruct originals (ie, by stripping forwarding
decorations) and DKIM verify.  (People wanting to claim they didn't
send abusive mail. :-( )
