I am also experiencing the same bug. I cannot sign or encrypt messages
using Enigmail (enigmail and icedove from Stretch). Decrypting messages
doesn't work too.

Enigmail is still able to check validity of a signature though.

I agree that it still does something, but I would not call the package
usable. Its main purpose is really not to check signatures, but to
help signing/encrypting messages. So the severity should reflect that.
