GPGMail: Mails signed with wrong signing subkey

I have multiple subways on my main GPG key.
One is a signing-only subkey I use to sign my git commits. It should never be used for anything else.
GPG Mail now insists on signing my emails with that subkey, and that subkey only. Even though I've set my main key in GPG preferences as default key.
I can't find a way to change this misbehaviour. Meaning I either cannot use subways at all or I can use GPG with emails XOR git.

Expected
A preference to select which signing capable subkey is used by GPGMail is required.

Additional info
The signing only subkey is (of course) newer than the main key. It seems that GPGMail is always using the newest signing capable key to sign emails which is wrong.

   Hi,

   thank you for reporting this issue.
   The Sierra version of GPGMail currently picks a signing key at random. We'll investigate this issue, and this discussion will be updated once we make progress.
