It seems to be the logic associated with finding the signing key.

Setting:

(setq mm-sign-option 'guided)

lets the whole thing work, but you have to use the dialog (which has a
truely horrible UI) that pops up and tell it to use the default key
everytime.

I tried to debug this, but for no reason that I can fathom edebug seems
to fail on the key (pun!) functions.

mml-secure-select-preferred-keys
mml-secure-find-usable-keys

Robert, Sharon could you try the "mm-sign-option". I am curious to see
if this is the same bug.
