How are you getting to the headers that you pasted into your message?  
Directly (using a text editor or viewer to look at the raw message file 
or mbox), or through your mail program?

If you are getting them through your mail program, could you look 
directly?  I have a suspicion that the headers are RFC2047 encoded: your 
mail program decodes them and shows you "from: [email protected]", 
but the literal text in the email might be "from: 
[email protected]?=" or even "from:
=?us-ascii?B?RGVicmFAZW1ibGlicmFyeS5jb20K?="

RFC2047 encoding was designed for characters that aren't 7-bit clean for 
mail transmission, and it doesn't make sense to use them to encode 
headers that don't need them, but I've been encountering more and more 
email that encodes strings that don't need encoding.  Procmail 
unfortunately doesn't support RFC2047 decoding.
