I am using an older emacs 20.7 on another machine, but ironically the
problem doesn't exist there, but only at home, where I am using a GNU
Emacs 21.1.1 (Debian Package from Woody) and a 5.9.0 GNUS. So a simple
workaround for me is to "downgrade" to 20.7.

I am not sure to use Alpha - Software for email and especially
encryption / signing. what do yout think?

I ment to do the conversion when writing the mail, not after
signing. But that's quite uncomfortable either.
