I'm forwarding this bug that a Debian user filed. Dear washington.edu folk, I hope you find it useful. Please feel free to reply all (so that the bug stays CC:d) if you want to keep the conversation going between the bug filer and the alpine-alpha list.

I'm about to disappear on a vacation for a few days, but I did skim the bug and it does seem reasonable.

Package: alpine
Version: 0.99+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

I use the 'Pine Privacy Guard' (version 1.02) scripts to facilitate the
interaction between (al)pine and GnuPG.
http://quantumlab.net/pine_privacy_guard/

When testing the alpine package, I noticed that the pinepg script was no
longer able to receive keyboard input.  pinepg will print a prompt
asking for my GPG passphrase, but no keyboard input will go to the
program, and alpine does not seem to be listening for keystrokes either.
I have to kill the 'decrypt' process from another terminal to continue.

My filter is:
_LEADING("-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----")_ /usr/local/src/pinepg-1.02/decrypt 
_RESULTFILE_ _DATAFILE_ _PREPENDKEY_

This problem happens independent of the setting:
disable-terminal-reset-for-display-filters


I believe that this is an upstream problem, for the same problem is
exhibited in the vanilia version 0.999 downloaded from UW.

Thanks,
Branden
