Why? because the recipient prefers it.

The member has set his preferred language as non-english.
You will see this on a non-personalized list if it's language
has set non-english.

The subject is re-generated within mailman because it is munged,
while the charset (content-type header) are kept as it was.

May be email should not encode the header if the string doesn't
contain non-ascii charcter.
