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?
