Thanks again :) Will post new version soon, including a new patch to
update NEWS and INSTALL.

Right, added. Thanks.

Yes it does. I added some fprintf() in gmime (in gpg_decrypt() and
g_mime_decrypt_result_get_signatures()). Decryption tests (after "emacs
delivery of encrypted message with attachment") clearly show that
g_mime_decrypt_result_get_signatures returns NULL when there's no
signatures in an encrypted part.

I guess the reason why tests did not fail is that
format_part_sigstatus_json just displays an empty JSON array if sig_list
is NULL. And that's also what's expected when an encrypted part has no
signature.

I had a quick look at the GObject code; apparently if you pass NULL to
g_object_ref (or anything that is not a GObject) it will just return
NULL. So that's why this one did not fail either.

Argh. Sorry about that. (I guess hacking while watching DS9 is not a
good idea: too distracting. Won't do it again until next time.)

Added -F :)

I guess we could also use pkg-config to test if gmime 2.6 is present. It
would also be simpler to test the version number once gmime fixes this
bug:

  pkg-config --atleast-version=2.6.x gmime-2.6 || test_subtest_known_broken

But this would mean assuming that notmuch is built against a system-wide
gmime. Or it would require setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH before tests...
Complicated.

So IMHO once gmime fixes this bug we should just remove the
test_subtest_known_broken and maybe add something like this in
notmuch-client.h:

  #ifdef GMIME_MAJOR_VERSION
  #define GMIME_ATLEAST_26
  #if !GMIME_CHECK_VERSION(2, 6, x)
  #warning "Building against an old and buggy version of gmime. Please update to 2.6.x."
  #endif
  #endif
