bug#37025: 27.0.50; smime signing and encryption does not work any longer

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

There is a ongoing discussion about a bug which was introduced in commit 
74579d3d2bb82f300a6f2d81b7b559f0a24061db 

And which causes smime to fail (message are not signed nor encrypted),
although this commits should only concern openpg.

Moreover it not clear whether this commit is compatible with older
openpg version, that don't possess the --sender option (for example in
RH 7).

There is however a quick «fix»


       (mml-secure-smime-sign-with-sender nil)
       *did not help*, although I am using smime not opengpg.
       But
       (mml-secure-openpgp-sign-with-sender nil)
       *did help*.

       This should be mentioned in the documentation (NEWS and in the
       relevant doc strings)

So far Teemu already sent a patch to the bugs list. It would be good if
either this patch were applied as soon as possible or, even better, the
patch were to be discussed, since it might causes problems with older
openpgp versions.
