I haven't tested this patch yet, but I did discover something about  
signing.  In order to get Pan to even think about signing a post, you  
need to edit your posting profile, and select PGP as the signature type.

Still too soon to know exactly what's happening, but when I sent the  
post, I got

(pan:8313): gmime-CRITICAL **: 18:23:04.019:  
g_mime_multipart_signed_sign: assertion 'GMIME_IS_CRYPTO_CONTEXT (ctx)'  
failed

(pan:8313): gmime-CRITICAL **: 18:23:04.019: g_mime_part_set_filename:  
assertion 'GMIME_IS_PART (mime_part)' failed

If that gives anyone ideas, great.  Otherwise I wouldn't follow this  
particular goose-chase until I have more definitive information.
