I received an email today with Content-Transfer-Encoding = 8bit set in the email headers but not inside each section of the multipart message. I have attached a screenshot to show the issue. Happy to share the actual eml file with you separately.
Due to this, eml-format _read method fails on line 505 because the encoding value is undefined.
The error message is as follows:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'startsWith' of undefined
at _append (/opt/nodejs/node_modules/eml-format/lib/eml-format.js:505:49)

To resolve this, I believe you can simply change line 490 of lib/eml-format.js as follows. I'd be happy to send a PR if this seems right to you.
var encoding = headers["Content-Transfer-Encoding"] || result.headers['Content-Transfer-Encoding'];
