Apparently, there's one step you have to take that's mentioned nowhere in the documentation: After you put your new key in the keychain, you have to restart Mail.app. I normally let it run indefinitely, and didn't even consider this possibility. Then yesterday I restarted it for some reason I no longer remember. Suddenly, the option to send signed or encrypted mail ... just appeared!
