In fact, it is very simple to remember the state of signing and 
encryption by adding a special header to the draft. I just have not 
gotten around doing it.

Signing/encrypting the draft was disabled for some (good?) reason I 
can't remember. I guess the information can be found in a bug report or 
in the mailing list archive. The fact that the state of the 
sign/encrypt option is not saved is a stupid oversight.
