The second form is good, but real_name is an attribute, not a method so
you say

 msg['From'] = mlist.real_name + ' <' + mlist.GetListEmail() + '>'

(and be sure to preserve indentation)

So it might be better to do it the same way. You can see Tokio's change
in patch form at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Cleanse.py?r1=text&tr1=2.5.2.1&r2=text&tr2=2.5.2.2&diff_format=u
