Kind of. The RFC has big fat disclaimer that it only provides very rough
guidance ("The choice of which header fields to sign is non-obvious.")
and is very very thin on details, afaict it does not say a thing about
oversigning. Exim could claim to follow the RFC no matter whether it had
List-Id, =List-Id or +List-Id in its defaults. So exim needs to make
a deliberate choice even if it "follows" the RFC. The one chosen is not
a good one imho.
