It's some kind of bad interaction between narrowing and
`mm-with-unibyte-current-buffer'.  This example illustrates the
effect:

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert "From: ニシキノネット　FC事業部
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP\n\n")
  (article-narrow-to-head)
  (mm-with-unibyte-current-buffer)
  (buffer-string))

=>
"From: ニシキノネット　FC事業部
Content-Type: text/plain"

Note how the last part of the text has been chopped off.  

If you edebug `rfc2047-decode' and step through Vladimirs example,
you'll see that this is also what's happening there.
