Summary: header is not converted to unicode when sending reminder

Initial Comment:
[root at anduril cron]# su - mailman -s /bin/sh -c "python -S 
/var/lib/mailman/cron/mailpasswds -l pld-rc-scripts"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/lib/mailman/cron/mailpasswds", line 239, in ?
    main()
  File "/var/lib/mailman/cron/mailpasswds", line 214, in main
    text += (header + '\n' + NL.join(table))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xb3 in position 
44: ordinal not in range(128)

the problem is that header is created:
header = '%-40s %-10s\n%-40s %-10s' % (
                _('List'), _('Password // URL'), '----', '--------')

but for example Password in Polish contains non-ascii characters so 
this patch is needed:

 # Coerce everything to Unicode
+header = tounicode(header, enc)
 text = tounicode(text, enc)
 table = [tounicode(_t, enc) for _t in table]

This fixes problem for me.

I'll take this because it's an i18n issue.
We may need more patch because passing unicode body to email
is broken in japanese environment.
