Breaking DKIM Alignment - ZOHO, HOW ABOUT A RESPONSE?!?!

Breaking DKIM Alignment - ZOHO, HOW ABOUT A RESPONSE?!?!

I've emailed Zoho about this crucial issue and haven't received a response. If we can't get our Zoho email to pass DMARC alignment because Zoho is breaking DKIM by modifying our emails, and if Zoho Support won't respond in a timely manner, we'll take our paid email plan elsewhere.

So, for a third time:
-----------------------------------------------------------
 I'm not getting DKIM alignment because of an error (signature did not verify) and a warning (l= tag included).

Upon further testing, I can see what is happening.  I sent test emails using Postbox and Outlook email clients, as well as from Zoho.com. I have found that Zoho.com and Outlook submitted emails both produce the above errors, while email sent using Postbox software yields full alignment (aside from the warning of the l= tag).  

Looking at the source code for all emails, I can see that Zoho and Outlook both break DKIM.  Zoho.com and Outlook modify the headers in transit - either changing the Content-Type or adding HTML, or both. Note, these are both emails sent from @MyDomain.com to a single recipient email (no forwarder/alias address).

This email sent from Zoho.com (also note broken quotations ["]:

So, Zoho email via Postbox signs the Content-Type AND Content-Transfer-Encoding. 
Zoho email via Zoho.com and Outlook signs only the Content-Type, then changes the encoding, and changes the email to multi-part emails. 

Yes, I have tried changed the encoding in both Zoho AND Outlook, but regardless of what I set them too, this issue replicates.  

Please research and advise asap, thank you.
