Why should anyone need to? Of all the mailing lists I'm on, this one is
the only one that has this problem.
=====
Beware tunnel vision. Another mailing list I'm on has exactly
the same problem, made worse because it's being run by a central
Big Company Mailing List Provider so the rules keep changing under
foot and it's up to the poor-sod list maintainer (who is not a
programmer) to cope.
To bring the focus back to this mailing list, not every program
runs on a little-endian computer with arbitrary word alignment
and pointers that fit in an int.

Of course. I'm just saying that it's possible to set up mailing lists
so that even people who use modern techniques for securing email can use
them with no problems. Seems to me, then, that the best response to the
"problem" is to set the list up right. And that the pressure should
perhaps be on mailing list maintainers to do this, rather than on users
to get their email providers and employers to not use SPF/DKIM/DMARC.

I agree that we all need to work together. Warren has been very willing
to try things to tweak the TUHS mailing list. I'm grateful for that.
I think this is growing / learning pains as we all try to lumber forward
into the future together.
