Perhaps the file utility is failing on the particular decoded part of
the MIME encoded email.  You may still have a directory in your amavis
tmp directory (/var/amavis/tmp perhaps?) that ends with 18143.  There
will be an "email.txt" file and a "parts" sub-directory.  Try running
file on each component and checking the exit status of each.
