Jemand erhält Zuschlag für Einkauf

The sender is an Entourage on a Mac OS X. If the Mac-User sends his mail to me and in copy to the mailman list, then the mail sent directly to me looks OK, and the one running through mailman looks garbled.

It looks like something is encoding the characters as utf-8 and then the utf-8 characters are not being identified/rendered properly.

What does the raw subject header look like in the mail that comes to you directly? Is it RFC 2047 encoded <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2047.html>, or is it just a raw subject with non-ascii characters encoded in some non-specified character set.

Also, what is the list's preferred language?

The only issue of which I am aware in current mailman is that non-RFC 2047 encoded 8-bit characters in the subject will cause the addition of subject_prefix to be skipped.
