Then your mail client does not fully support S/MIME. An S/MIME opaquely
(i.e., embedded) signed email does look similar to an encrypted email
but it's not the same.

We will investigate whether it is possible to convert an opaquely
signed email to a clear signed (i.e., detached) email. It might be that
this is not be possible without breaking the signature.
