another question: how do I find the key id in mutt's (gpgme's?)
information for signed mails? For my previous mail mutt shows me this:

If I check that mail's signature manually using gpgsm,¹ I get the
following output:

gpgsm: Signature made 2026-07-01 08:36:10 UTC
gpgsm:                using rsa2048 key E476ADAA614A7E1CFDC3D5D17F378D998076E616
gpgsm: Good signature from "/CN=Robert Jaeschke/O=Humboldt-Universitaet zu 
Berlin/ST=Berlin/C=DE/[email protected]/GN=Robert/SN=Jaeschke/2.5.4.97=GOVDE+BE"
gpgsm:                 aka "[email protected]"

This output includes the key id which I can then use to get more
information about the key.²

How can I see the id of a key used to sign a message in mutt?

This was also left out of the GPGME code. I'm not sure why, but I'll add a TODO to put it into the signature block, if GPGME makes it available.
