Description
Feature Request
Allow to just sign mails when using Mailvelope with the API enabled
Summary
Currently Nextcloud mail allows to encrypt messages when using Mailvelope in API mode by checking "Encrypt message with Mailvelope". It is not possible to just sign outgoing messages, without encrypting them.
Possible solution
Adding another checkbox under the one used to enable encryption, used to enable signing. This could also be made a permanent setting, editable in the account's setting.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing Mailvelope API integration and the current “Encrypt message with Mailvelope” checkbox. Define the sign-only behavior, including whether the option belongs only in the compose view or also in account settings, then verify that signing works without encryption and that existing encryption behavior remains unchanged.
