We've been seeing a number of emails with subjects using UTF-8 in an
attempt to obscure the sender by using some form of 8-bit characters.
For example, this spells dropbox:

 From: "=?utf-8?B?xJByb3Bib8+X?=" <abrinar.gue...@ecacolleges.com>

How would we write a header rule against that? Just use From:raw?

Is it possible to write a rule using the decoded characters, like
"dróp-bóx" or "Dṙopḇoẋ"?

I've also tried variations of "dropbox" such as "dr?pb?x" etc...

There are already obfuscated-text rules, and the subject is incorporated in the body text so they would scan that.

Take a look at the existing FUZZY_* rules.

Possibly (untested):

    body          FUZZY_DROPBOX  /<D>(?!ropbox)<R><O><P><B><O><X>/i
    replace_rules FUZZY_DROPBOX
    describe      FUZZY_DROPBOX  Obfuscated "dropbox"
