After digging through the code, I /think/ the problem is in 
libbalsa_mailbox_imap_fetch_structure() which loads only text/* and short 
messages completely (to be honest, I don't understand why multipart/* is 
working, though…).  At least, the attached trivial patch, just loading 
single-part S/MIME messages just as text/*, solves the issue for me.

Thinking again about this issue, I guess this approach is not completely 
correct.  If all multipart/* messages are handled at some other place (are 
they?), shouldn't *all* other top-level content types be loaded here?  The vast 
majority will (explicitly or implicitly) be text/*, and application/pkcs7-mime 
is already somewhat special.  But a message containing only a, say image/* or 
application/pdf as the only payload is absolutely legal (although I saw the 
latter with malspam attacks only…).

Thus, the more appropriate approach would be
