You didn't include a backtrace, so I'm not 100% sure what code fails,
but according to your description I think it's likely that this bug was
fixed by the commit to Emacs 27 below, and I'm closing this bug report.
If this is still a problem, please reopen.

    Avoid elisp crash for OpenPGP User IDs with no e-mail address
    
    * lisp/gnus/mml-sec.el (mml-secure-check-user-id): Verify that
    there is an e-mail address in the current User ID before trying
    to downcase it.  (Bug#34121)
