+
+  You can manually sign your messages with gpg by invoking `M-x
+  mml-secure-sign-pgpmime` (or `M-x
+  mml-secure-encrypt-pgpmime`). These functions are available via the
+  convenient (*cough cough*) keybindings `C-c C-m s p` and `C-c C-m c
+  p` by default. To sign my outgoing mail by default, I use this hook
+  in my .emacs file:
+
+                      ;;sign messages by default
+                      (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'mml-secure-sign-pgpmime)
+
+  This inserts the blurb `<#part sign=pgpmime>` into the beginning of
+  my mail text body and will be converted into a pgp signature when
+  sending (so I can just manually delete that line if I do not want a
+  mail to be signed).
