I finally upgraded to XEmacs 21.4.6.  I discovered that there's a new
(or at least newly documented) option to configure called
--with-file-coding which I enabled on Sun (it's on by default under
cygwin) and that solves the CRLF issues.  Encrypted emails are
properly parsed under both Sun and cygwin now.  I still get a "Sender
address forged" message in the button of a decrypted message in spite
of openssl clearly getting successful verification, but that's much
less of a concern since clicking the button provides me that info.
