   There's an interesting read on DKIM at the above link.   
   (I didn't know what it was either!)   
   As Smith advised, the problem is at the ISP, MS and Google end, not   
   SeaMonkey. I never realised that emails get changed by security checks.   
   No solution, but does explain it. HTH Barry
