I have another idea how we could display the 3 states:

Unknown state:    simply show an empty field instead of question marks
signed/encrypted: show the appropriate icon for the state
not signed/enc.:  show a dash (as we do already for the read/unread field)

She scissored short.  Sorely shorn,
Soon shackled slave, Samson sighed,
Silently scheming,
Sightlessly seeking
Some savage, spectacular suicide.
