The key here is to realize that the raw message is not what you get
back from the mailing list reflector, and also not the raw message
that was sent by the sender. In this day of mta intermediaries,
proxies, reflectors, it may be time to revisit that suggestion.
Attachments seem to survive unmolested better than mail email bodies,
for example. And MUAs can undo some of the unexpected transformations
in the main body.
