Well, I'm actually sending quite a lot messages unsigned, i. e. all my 
replies to bug reports because bugzilla anyway strips of signatures 
(although it doesn't manage to remove clearsigning signatures 
completely). So I definitely need the signing icon regularly which of 
course means that I'm biased. If all other KMail developers are okay 
with removing the signing icon then I won't object. But first let's 
hear what they have to say.
