I've been looking at Apple Mail's support for this too, but it  
appears to only pick up on a certificate if the subjectAltName  
exactly matches the mail account's e-mail address. Obviously that  
can't work for FOAF+SSL keys as we've been using them so far.

However, technically subjectAltName is a comma-separated list, so I  
could have:

subjectAltName=email:foo at example.com,URI:http://example.com/foo#me

The CGI::Auth::FOAF_SSL module doesn't support subjectAltNames like  
that, but I think that it probably should. I don't know whether Apple  
Mail supports them either. I'll try to get around to experimenting  
with this some more.
