I need some more time to review this patch, but I don't think this is
correct.  The signature status of encrypted messages (or even if the
message was signed at all) comes from the decryption process.  They're
not independent.  If the decryption fails it's unknown if there was a
signature or not.

I need to look closer at this, though.  Hopefully this weekend.
