It's too complicated to be right first time, certainly.

The "human-readable" part is
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

... which I can see being incomprehensible when a UTF-8
address or header is included.

The message overall is
Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status

The included-part is
Content-type: message/global-headers
or Content-type: message/global

but this depends on the original having been labelled SMTPUTF8,
not on the detection of UTF-8 headers. The defaults are
Content-type: text/rfc822-headers
or Content-type: message/rfc822
