According to my .pinerc (pine 4.44 rh 1.70.0), you could try with this 
placement for quotes :

display-filters=_LEADING("-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----")_ /usr/bin/gpg-check 
etc.
Check also that, for a next filter, a real tab is inserted after the CR.

You might also consider magicpgp 
(http://www.physto.se/%7Ep99jlu/MagicPGP.html).
