PKI S/MIME issue

Has anyone seen an issue where an email should be encrypted, but for
some reason is not?
I have captured several e-mails in my system that have headers that
would suggest encryption
was intended. When I take a look further into the email, it is
obviously not encrypted.

The header that would suggest encryption is:

Content-type:
application/pkcs7-mime;smime-type=enveloped-data;name=smime.p7m

Any help appreciated.

Sure that the messages were encrypted and not just signed?

Yes, the enveloped-data signfies the body of the email should be
encrypted. There is a different header for signed vs. encrypted.
