Summary: subject prefic encoding

Initial Comment:
In Mailman 2.1b2 on Python 2.1.3 with a mailing list
that has German as its default language, the subject prefix
gets encoded unneccessarily, e.g. [MNO] becomes
=?iso-8859-1?q?=5BMNO=5D_?= .

This will be fixed in MM2.1 by giving you the option to
disable encoded prefixes if the prefix is all ASCII. 
Obviously, if there are non-ASCII characters in the prefix,
it must be encoded.

There's also a third option, which is to only encode the
prefix if the original subject is non-ascii, and therefor
encoded.  In that case, because of the ambiguity of the
relevant RFCs not encoding the prefix might lead to extra or
missing spaces depending on the end-user's mail reader.

It happens the same for mailman in spanish as default 
language, besides it reencode de original subject so one 
subject like: 
   =?iso-8859-1?Q?
prueba__no_leer:_el_parag=FCas=2C_el_cami=F3n_y_el_ni=
F1o_?=
becomes:
   =?iso-8859-1?q?=5BMON=5D_?=
	=?iso-8859-1?q?=3D=3Fiso-8859-
1=3FQ=3Fprueba=5F=5Fno=5Fleer=3A=5Fel=5Fpa?=
 =?iso-8859-1?q?
rag=3DFCas=3D2C=5Fel=5Fcami=3DF3n=5Fy=5Fel=5Fni=3
DF1o=5F?=
 =?iso-8859-1?q?=3F=3D?=

where it should be:
     =?iso-8859-1?q?=5BMON=5D_?=
 =?iso-8859-1?Q?
prueba__no_leer:_el_parag=FCas=2C_el_cami=F3n_y_el_ni=
F1o_?=

or even:
      [MON]
      =?iso-8859-1?Q?
prueba__no_leer:_el_parag=FCas=2C_el_cami=F3n_y_el_ni=
F1o_?=
why the incoming subject line (with the "subject :" part 
striped) isn't copied verbatim to the next line of the message 
sended?
