Summary: names w/ .'s + accents held for approval

Initial Comment:
people who use microsoft outlook (at least) and
have accented characters and .'s in their names
(e.g.  "F. André") have their names encoded
in the From: line as per RFC 2049, like

 =?Windows-1252?Q?F._Andr=E9?= <fandre@example.ca>

the unescaped dots break Mailman's RFC822 parsing,
so the user's messages are held for approval when
member_posting_only=1, even if they're subscribed.

one fix is to escape the unescaped dots -- patch
for rfc822.py attached...
