I read the S/MIME spec differently. Quoting Section 2.7 from
http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3851.html#sec-2.7

2.7 ContentEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier

Sending and receiving agents MUST support encryption and decryption with DES
EDE3 CBC, hereinafter called "tripleDES" [CMSALG]. Receiving agents SHOULD
support encryption and decryption using the RC2 [CMSALG] or a compatible
algorithm at a key size of 40 bits, hereinafter called "RC2/40". Sending
and receiving agents SHOULD support encryption and decryption with AES
[CMSAES] at a key size of 128, 192, and 256 bits.
