Summary: 
Mail continues to sign messages with expired S/MIME certificates.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install an S/MIME certificate on an iOS device. 
2. Engage the setting to sign outgoing mail.
3. Wait for the certificate to expire.
4. Send a message.

Expected Results:
I would expect the message to be sent unsigned, as in Mail.app on the Mac. Perhaps a warning dialog.

Actual Results:
The message is signed with an invalid signature, and no warning is generated. If you're lucky, you receive replies from technically inclined correspondents pointing out the mistake.
