Well not supporting it _might_ help the sender to realize that he is
doing something strange (i.e. using a weak algorithm)

I won't declare the S/MIME support experimental in any way.  It is
actually stable and in production use at several sites.  It is just
that gpgsm is distributed in the development branch of gpg - which is
unfortunately but currently there is no solution for it.

Let me repeat: gpgsm, gpg-agent and gpgconf as available in gnupg
1.9.x are stable and ready for use.  You may install GnuPG 1.9 along
with GnuPG 1.4 to get both: OpenPGP and S/MIME.

MUAs supporting gpgsm are at least KMail and Mutt (1.5.x).
