When `C-c C-e', signing is not required.

Mew manual (`M-x info RET d m Mew RET g pgp-shortcut RET') says:

| `C-cC-s'
|      Sign the entire draft with PGP. Input your pass-phrase.
| `C-cC-e'
|      Encrypt the entire draft with PGP.
| `C-cC-b'
|      Sign, and then encrypt the entire draft with PGP. Input your
|      pass-phrase.
| `C-cC-r'
|      Encrypt, and then sign the entire draft with PGP. Input your
|      pass-phrase.

| If you want to protect privacy of all drafts, set
| `mew-protect-privacy-always' to `t' and set
| `mew-protect-privacy-always-type' to one of PGP services.
| 
| If you want to protect the privacy of drafts when replying encrypted
| messages, set `mew-protect-privacy-encrypted' to `t' and set
| `mew-protect-privacy-encrypted-type' to one of the PGP services.  This
| configuration is preferred to the configuration for all drafts described
| above in the case of replying encrypted messages.

| In Draft mode, `C-cC-pC-a' toggles `mew-protect-privacy-always' and
| `C-cC-pC-e' toggles `mew-protect-privacy-encrypted'.
