Note there are two workarounds at this point:
	a) hit the check signature funcation (usually bound to 'c')
	b) Once you have figured out which key to use, set a default
	sign-as in .muttrc with  set smime_default_key=0xXXXXXXXX

I think the meaning full label is not necessary and might be even a
bit missleading, if user say "good" or so and the certificate is not good 
or so.

I agree that 2) would be useful, at least the information should be displayed
better in the case of a expired certificate.
If you like you can add this to the ägypten tracker as wish.
