Reading S/MIME email with PINE via IMAP crashes Exchange 5.5 store.exe

[libove]

I run an Exchange 5.5 (SP4) server on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server (SP4 + all patches). I read mail from it using PINE (current version) connected via IMAP. When PINE tries to read an S/MIME email, it crashes the store.exe process on the Exchange server.

Reading that same email using Outlook or using Outlook Web Access does NOT hurt the Exchange server.

Help?!

Thanks!

A further note on this issue, which is still happening.

I have since added an Exchange 2003 Server to my network, in test mode. Reading the same message from PINE which causes the Exchange 5.5 server's Information Store process to hang, does not hurt the Exchange 2003 Server at all.

Still, it would be nice to figure out what it is about the messages that cause the Exchange 5.5 Server to hang.
