Aki, I just used the "EC key" instructions from the Dovecot MailCrypt wiki:
https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailCrypt
"
In order to generate an EC key, you must first choose a curve from the
output of this command:
> openssl ecparam -list_curves
If you choose the curve prime256v1, generate and EC key with the command:
> openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey | openssl pkey -out
ecprivkey.pem
Then generate a public key out of your private EC key
> openssl pkey -in ecprivkey.pem -pubout -out ecpubkey.pem
"

I'm going on a limb and guess that there is something strange happening with
ruby and openssl versions here.
The main point of the script is to show how the data can be decrypted, and can
be used for small-scale data recovery as well.

Copy that. I would agree that it seems to be something weird between
OpenSSL and Ruby in this case. Since I'm able to get it to work in my
specific instance, and since it doesn't seem systemic outside of my
situation, I'd say -- specific problem solved! :) Thanks for your help.
