OK, thanks!
This leads to:

mutt random tip #6
A signed message is considered verified only *when all its parts are
signed*. A partially signed message (for example with a mailing-list final
attachment) is not considered sure, so the "s" flag won't became upcased
even when the other part are verified against the signature.

set resolve=yes
move to the next message when an action is performed (this works in
most contexts with an index).
