Thanks.
Your advice and this link does indeed suggest there is something in the
incoming email containing Arabic characters:

I'm not 100% sure however why the hard coded text that my procmail code

It's because you didn't remove the "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" header.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
