The problem here is if a message of which the above is an excerpt is received by some application, e.g. Mailman, and later resent to recipients by passing the message object to Python's smtplib.SMTP.send_message() method which serializes the message with the as_bytes() method applied to the whole message, the resent message has the unfolded protected In-Reply-To header in the signed part breaking the signature.
