so even this is good (except that maybe not all people is able to do this
without mangling content, expecially if reading from certain webmail or
from a phone)

Remain a final question: for the domanin that is sending these messge
there are three hosts that send email. currently we have a spf record. but
only two of these machine are able to do dkim signature.
What happen if i publish a DKIM signature but go around some unsigned
messages ?
Would help not to publish the DKIM record until all the servers are ready
to sign it ? would impair server reputation sending dkim signed messges
without having the public key in the standard position, or the signature
would be just ignored ?

(for our purpose dkim signture have to be checked only by an
human to verify if a messge had really passed through our server
