As mentioned before, those MUAs that you report can read that message
are **badly** broken. ESPECIALLY when it comes to cryptographically
signing messages, if a message does not EXACTLY follow the established
procedure for signing the data, how can that ever be considered
secure? No rational MUA will ever try to workaround a broken S/MIME
(or PGP) message since the format of the message itself is one of the
requirements of a signed message. If the format is incorrect, you
don't even need to look at the data to determine the message is
improperly signed.
