Description
Hi,
I have k-9 5.114 installed and signing emails with OpenKeychain. If k-9 verifys a signature no date and time is shown, only if it is valid is shown.
Could you please update k-9 to show date and time to?
The problem is if someone is signing a simple "yes" than the email can be reused even some years later.

Research direction
Start by reproducing signature verification with K-9 5.114 and OpenKeychain, then trace the Android UI that reports a verified GPG signature. Done means the verification result also shows the signature date and time, addressing the issue's concern about reusing a signed message later.
