--- Comment #2 from Bernd Oliver Sünderhauf <pancho.mz at riseup.net> ---
Might be better to keep the two warnings separate, so they can be separately
switched off.

So on deletion the wording generally would be:
"Do you really want to delete the %n selected attachment/s? Once deleted,
it/they cannot be restored."

If confirmed, it is checked if the message is digitally signed, and only if it
is, a second warning would say:
"Do you really want to delete the %n selected attachment/s? This might
irreversibly invalidate the digital signature of this message."

Even better if we wouldn't say "might be invalidated", but detect a bit more
and show the second warning only, if it really will be invalidated. You  might
better know, in which cases this is true.
Better case differentiation seems necessary, as fuzzy warnings tend to be
annoying, even more if they cascade. But then again, they are mutable, and
cascading seems to be the only correct way to do this.
