The way it is implemented, only the recipient can see who actually
signed the message, so the person who signed is part of the secret
protected by the encryption.

If you really *need* to be able to verify files you can't decrypt, you
could first encrypt it and then sign the resulting encrypted file. But
it's a bit cumbersome.
