I like the idea of a meta-tag that has global effect for all mml tags
in the message (perhaps with the caveat that if the tag already has a
sign attribute, it is left alone).

It could be done during a pre-processing run -- if a $secure tag is
found anywhere in the message, delete it and set the "sign" attribute
on all mml tags in the message as appropriate, wrapping the message in
an explicit multipart/mixed tag first if appropriate.
