I got one:

For whatever reason, mailman destroys the Subject: header I use when
sending mail to a list. I use postfix, together with header_checks to
actually LOG the Subject: header:

Mail comes in from mail.charite.de, the Subject: is fine!
Dec 24 13:05:24 webmail postfix/cleanup[3041]: E9C20220BDD: warning: header Subject: webKess Stations- / Abteilungsregistrierung Elisabeth_KH.1049 from mail.charite.de[160.45.207.131]; from=<rootmail at charite.de> to=<webkess at mailman.charite.de> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.charite.de>

It's delivered into mailman's script:
Dec 24 13:05:25 webmail postfix/local[2972]: E9C20220BDD: to=<webkess at mailman.charite.de>, relay=local, delay=1, status=sent (delivered to command: /home/mailman/mail/mailman post webkess)

Mail comes back from mailman (localhost!):
Dec 24 13:05:26 webmail postfix/smtpd[3039]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Dec 24 13:05:26 webmail postfix/smtpd[3039]: 8FDB7220BDD: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Dec 24 13:05:26 webmail postfix/cleanup[3041]: 8FDB7220BDD: message-id=<20051224120524.E1FEE220690 at mail.charite.de>
Dec 24 13:05:26 webmail postfix/cleanup[3041]: 8FDB7220BDD: warning: header Subject: [webKess] webKess Stations- / Abteilungsregistrierung??Elisabeth_KH.1049 from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]; from=<webkess-bounces+munged=jant.de at charite.de> to=<munged at jant.de> proto=ESMTP helo=<webmail.charite.de>

As you can see, 
Subject: webKess Stations- / Abteilungsregistrierung Elisabeth_KH.1049
was transformed into
Subject: [webKess] webKess Stations- / Abteilungsregistrierung??Elisabeth_KH.1049

(?? denotes a non-8-bit character). I wonder why a mere "space" sign
needs to be transformed...
