Currently we have a lot of security key bindings:

,----
| C-c RET C s	mml-secure-encrypt-smime
| C-c RET C o	mml-secure-encrypt-pgp
| C-c RET C p	mml-secure-encrypt-pgpmime
| 
| C-c RET c s	mml-secure-message-encrypt-smime
| C-c RET c o	mml-secure-message-encrypt-pgp
| C-c RET c p	mml-secure-message-encrypt-pgpmime
| 
| C-c RET S s	mml-secure-sign-smime
| C-c RET S o	mml-secure-sign-pgp
| C-c RET S p	mml-secure-sign-pgpmime
| 
| C-c RET s s	mml-secure-message-sign-smime
| C-c RET s o	mml-secure-message-sign-pgp
| C-c RET s p	mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime
`----

I was thinking: Do people switch a lot between using S/MIME, PGP and
PGP/MIME, or do they usually use the same method?

If the latter is true, wouldn't it be friendlier to have a shorter key
binding, say, `C-c RET s' for signing with the default method.  If
invoked with a prefix argument it could query for which method to use.
