No sorry this is *not* the problem. I recall we had this discussion and
you closed a similar bug, because I incorrectly stated it is about smime
signed messages. It is not.

It is about encrypted+signed non-ascii message.

This is why I needed Jens Lechtenberger to jump in because he is one of
the few gnus users with a smime certificate.

So in order to reproduce and debug it, I suggest you either 

    1. Get a free smime certificate, there are still some, valid for
       some month. I could look it up for you.

    2. Or maybe your government provides you with one. This is,
       surprisingly, what the spanish goverment does, and I use this
       certificate, among other this  for email encryption and signing.

Regards

Uwe
