What is "older" exactly? And could we assume that anyone using a recent
mutt would not be using such "older" GPGME? Instead, wouldn't be
checking the GPGME version number and only suppressing the confirmation
if it is known to be "older" a more user friendly approach, so actually
wait for a key when the GPGME version is expected to support CMS but
does not?

Anyhow, this ...

... removing also the OpenPGP check failure confirmation doesn't look
very appealing to me, the error message will just fly by and may get
unnoticed while GPGME is really expected to support OpenPGP.
