My understanding is that it's only Alpine that's causing the problem. Your computer doesn't "accept" a certificate. Apps do. As I mentioned, with other apps, you just have to accept it once. So perhaps you should be asking the Alpine people why their app is broken.
Again, it is not broken. They provide a method to accept the certificate. And it is not only Alpine, there are others.
With signed certificates, they can be traced back to some signing authority, which the app recognizes. For example, Thunderbird comes with a list of authorities that can be trusted.
Authorities can be added to the *system* *store*. How? That's my question. I want to create one and add it. Simple as that. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
