Because it's not encrypted, it's signed.  Note the last part of...
=> Content-Type: application/pkcs7-mime;smime-type=signed-data

IME, Outlook by default sends signed messages in this format.  I call it
an opaque signature, as a corollary to a clear (or detached) signature.

Netscape 4 used to recognise these, but Mozilla does not.

If I receive them, I ask the sender to send it again, and change their
settings in Outlook.  It must be fairly obvious, as everyone (all 5 of
them) have managed to change it so far.

Netscape is correct.
