The mail is not decoded, i.e. mutt is obviously unable to recognize
the header correctly. Although the snippet above looks good, it is
possible that the mail is of type multipart and something wrong with it
(I actually saw broken mails from M$-Exchange this way).
Please send us a copy of the header and, if there, the MIME frame of
the relevant mail part (you can anonymize private content),
then we'll see ...
