Obviously we can't delete from encrypted messages, but the current
code actually prevents deletion from signed messages as well (and
gives an erroneous message). David's patch:

I do like that we resist deleting attachments that are part of signed
content. But maybe we should allow deleting the signature itself, so
that there's a two-step process for deleting any attachment? Just a
passing thought, put out for discussion if anyone is interested.
(In either case I think the error message is wrong and we need to
change that, but I'll wait for any discussion.)
