Click on the 'customize' link shown in the help buffer that pops up
when you do 'C-h v mml-secure-smime-sign-with-sender RET'

    Štěpán> You can set `mml-secure-smime-sign-with-sender' (or any other option)
    Štěpán> using the command `customize-variable' or simply putting

    Štěpán>   (setq mml-secure-smime-sign-with-sender t)

mml-secure-smime-sign-with sender has no effect when signing with pgp,
you'd need to set mml-secure-openpgp-sign-with-sender.

I can adjust the message easily enough, but I honestly think both of
those variables should default to t, not nil. And I think we should do
that in emacs-27 [1]. Eli?

(and we should implement a more sophisticated form of 'mm-sign-option'
'guided in master).

[1]  Power users will already have set or know how to set
     'mml-secure-openpgp-signers' and the like
