Thanks for notmuch-emacs, it's great!

I did notice that it doesn't appear to check weather gpg/pgp signatures are
valid by default.

When I created a signed message to myself, made a copy of it, and then manually
edited the text within without changing the signature...

But notmuch-emacs doesn't distinguish between the valid signature:

  Subject: valid gpg sig
  To: vagrant@localhost
  Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 15:03:45 -0700
  
  [ multipart/signed ]
  [ text/plain ]
  this should be a VALID gpg signature.
  [ signature.asc: application/pgp-signature ]

And the edited text, with an invalid signature:

  Subject: invalid gpg sig
  To: vagrant@localhost
  Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 15:03:45 -0700
  
  [ multipart/signed ]
  [ text/plain ]
  this should be an INVALID gpg signature.
  [ signature.asc: application/pgp-signature ]


Maybe further action is required to verify the signature? If so, it would
ideally make that clear in the interface somehow.

I've only just started using emacs(largely because of the notmuch interface) so
maybe there are some emacs conventions that are lost on me.
