I've installed exactly the same Claws Mail version. Verification,
decryption and enrcyption of S/MIME messages are working as expected.
Due to lacking communication partners I could test this only for
messages sent to my own email address. Again, I use it extremely rarely.

The missing libintl-8.dll is located on my Win7 Pro x86_64 under
C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG. I conclude from this location that it
has been installed during installion of Gpg4win 2.2.1. This directoy is
in my system path.

So you did not write up to now, if the DLL is missing on your system or
if it just cannot be found by Claws Mail or GPGSM.

It would probably be helpful to verify/decrypt the message on the
command line using gpgsm. Thus we could exclude e.g. GPGSM
problem.s. I've just tried to do so but I failed. I have not enough
knowledge about internal processes, e.g. I do not know, if headers are
to be included and if I have to BASE64 decode before and how to process
MIME boundary strings. Maybe someone can give help on this.
