Just a friendly reminder, at some point in the future (possibly soon)
the infrastructure team is going to move away from minotaur, which
will have an unknown impact on the secmail function.

I've added some minor functions (a pre-check of userids in the
background for availability even before you submit the form, and
better recognition of detached signatures), but lacking in feedback on
this, I'm moving on to other things.
