Hmm. It does work, somewhat. It's not too convenient, as I have to
remember:

  a) not to send (C-c C-c) the message when it's a signed one (I could
     live with that),
  b) go to drafts and pick those messages that need to be signed and
     sent (my drafts folder is usually a bit polluted, so I have to find
     the ones that really need sending).

The last option would obviously be the best one -- but it boils down to
the same thing: Gnus knowing what messages await signing.
