It _is_ a "creative" use of the spam command.  I think if you read about 
the command you may agree there isn't anything particularly wrong with 
using it for this purpose.  It just allows labeling messages in a way
that is efficient to search against.

Yes, that may be possible although it might be better to then deprecate 
$crypt_verify_sig and just have the separate pgp and smime config vars 
(which should be quadoptions).  It certainly wouldn't go in a stable 
release.

I don't know what it's doing that takes so long to time out, and have no 
idea how to adjust that.  Maybe others who use s/mime with GPGME have 
ideas.
