This could be used for *encrypted* message, not for *signed* one, which I want 
to authenticate user from (what Darren pointed out :)

Maybe the signature verification could be done on the MDA side (rt-mailgate) 
which then pass information passed to RT via an additionnal parameter. This 
solution needs to make modifications in rt-mailgate, 
/REST/1.0/NoAuth/mail-gateway, RT::EmailParser and RT::Interface::Email...

Another way is to keep a copy of the original MIME::Entity during the 
authentication process, but it can be painful with large attachements...

Yet another solution is to make the UTF-8 conversion *after* authentication 
phase. I don't know if and how this could make things going bad, if it ever 
did.

Anyone ?

Thanks,
