See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/2.1/+bug/998949> and
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/revision/1353>.

This is actually related to the first issue. The user's language is
Polish and the Subject gets erroneously translated to Polish, but the
message is sent as an English language message so the Subject is
assumed to be ascii and is not encoded. I think the fix at rev. 1353
takes care of both issues.
