Here's what I know -- alpine apparently tries to run a signed, encrypted 
object through openssl twice, and fails on the second attempt.  I can 
export the message to a raw mailbox, and openssl can 'grok' it fine.  I 
haven't been able to follow the C code well enough to figure out exactly 
where it's happening; I'm not a native speaker of C.

I've approached some of the more clueful maintainers (barton, chappa, 
crispin when he was around) and nobody seems willing or able to help 
mainly because they do not use the technologies involved.

I would love to have this fixed and would even pay for a few hours of dev 
time, as I use Alpine in both my personal and work life, and would like to 
be able to use my cacert.org cert for this.
