OK. Then it sounds like the warning flagged an actual bug.

What the code is trying to do is simply to avoid indexing the signature
part. It's currently doing this by skipping the second part of a
multipart/signed message. Perhaps instead it should just be skipping the
final part? (It appears that that would be correct given the example
message.)

Alright. Well, let us know if things go wrong again.
