Probably, the bug is in Thunderbird (Icedove) and not yet fixed.

  Bug 7269 - Content-Type header should be handled as case-insensitive. 
  https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7269

The below is a workaround:

(defadvice mew-encode-multipart-encrypted (before my-ct-fix activate)
  (when (string= ct "Multipart/Encrypted")
    (setq ct "multipart/encrypted")))
