Option to disable S/MIME signature check?

I have never used "message-hook" before. That looks like a workable 
workaround.

I have also never used "spam" before. I wonder if this feature is really 
correct for my use-case, which has nothing to do with spam. It might do 
the job, but it doesn't feel clean.

There seem to be quite a few users with this issue. Do you think a 
boolean option like "crypt_verify_smime" that explicitly works even with 
GPGME would be feasible? From a user POV, it sure sounds logical and 
useful.

Also, is there a way to shorten the time that SMIME signature 
verification needs before timing out? 25 seconds sounds much too long to 
me.

Thanks a lot!

If you upload your address book to "the cloud", I don't want to be in it.
