Outlook 2003 cannot display signed messages after upgrade to V8

We have some users using Astaro mail encryption.
After upgrade V7->V8 some recipients cannot read signed (not encrypted) emails in Outlook 2003. 
Since _all_ emails from users defined in "Mail Security->Email encryption->Intern users" are automatically signed, i have looked for workaround.

I have found this link:
A signed e-mail with the following structure works fine in both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007:
  multipart/signed
      - multipart/alternative
          -- text/html
          -- text/plain
      - application/pkcs7-signature

A signed e-mail with the following structure also works fine in both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007:
  multipart/signed
      - text/html
      - application/pkcs7-signature

However, an e-mail with the following structure does not work in Outlook 2003 (it works in Outlook 2007 though):
  multipart/signed
      - multipart/alternative
          -- text/html
      - application/pkcs7-signature


I made some tests.
With plaintext emails it works just fine, struktur:

multipart/signed
   - text/plain
   - application/x-pkcs7-signature

With HTML messages it does not work in Outlook 2003, struktur:

multipart/signed
   - multipart/mixed
   - multipart/alternative
      -text/plain
      -text/html
   -application/x-pkcs7-signature

In V7 it worked just fine, since upgrade to V8 not more.
Unfortunately, we already upgraded all our Astaros to V8, so i cannot test V7.
Hope, it helps somebody [:)]

P.S. Can somebody test the strukture of signed, not encrypted Email in V7 and post results here?
