  As no module is available for doing it there's not much more that
  claws-mail can do other than showing a message.

  I don't understand that. You mean warn before sending that the account
  preferences indicate some privacy option (encryption or singning or both)
  but currently there's no module for doing it so the user has a chance to
  quit sending?

  Anyway this would be a bit annoying for users which just unload the plugin
  to disable privacy options (which is way easier than changing every
  account's configuration). It's desirable for you right now because of the
  other bug, which is the real problem, but that's not what you would expect
  if you unload the plugin on purpose :)
