Yes, but this only displays precious little info.

Enter label: Found 1 certificate chains
Processing chain: subject=C = DE, ST = Berlin, L = Berlin, O = Charite- Universitaetsmedizin Berlin, SN = Lastname, GN = Firstname, CN = Firstname Lastname

Certificate: /home/hildeb-adm/.smime/certificates/6ab64010.0 already installed.
==> about to verify certificate of b43f1e2c.0

/home/hildeb-adm/.smime/certificates/b43f1e2c.0: OK

==> checking purpose flags for b43f1e2c.0
S/MIME signing : Yes
S/MIME encryption : Yes

certificate b43f1e2c.0 (foo) for firstname.lastname at charite.de added.

But what *IS* "b43f1e2c"? Is it a serial number, a part of the fingerprint?

I'll have a look at those.

Well yes, but in some cases (please don't ask) my moron users have
more than one valid certifcate in use and I'd like to know which one
that is (because they don't know).
