You need to add something like a filter script to Pine/Alpine so that it can handle encripted/signed
PGP mail, and then, only those that come "inline".

I use "ppf_decrypt" and family, from Douglas Barton, but I can't find a link to the page right now.
Ah, yes, here:

http://dougbarton.us/PGP/scripts/ppf/ and/or
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/dougb/

Ah, that link is down, new is:

http://dougbarton.us/PGP/ppf/index.html



An alternative is save the email to an external file, and handle it there.
