GPGMail: Signing can't be disabled in GPGMail after a smartcard failure

When my Yubikey fails to sign an email, and I disable signing on that email, GPGMail still signs the email.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compose an email with signing on by default
2. Send the mail, but give the wrong smartcard PIN
3. Disable signing on the email
4. Send the mail

GPGMail attempts to sign the mail, even though signing is disabled.

Expected
When signing is disabled, GPGMail does not sign mail.

   Hi Tim,

   this issue should be fixed. If you want to test the fix, please download our latest hotfix GPG Suite. That page also has Signature file and SHA1 to verify the download.

   We are in the midst of preparing the next release so feedback would be highly appreciated. If you have a few minutes please take the latest nightly (currently 2502n) for a spin.

   Best,
   Steve
