It's hard to see without seeing the actual welcome email message, but my
guess is that the welcome message specifies the character set of the
body as one which doesn't support the Farsi characters, e.g. an English
language list with character set us-ascii, but possibly some other
language with a non-utf-8 character set.

If it is English and us-ascii and you have sufficient access to the
Mailman installation, you can change the character set to utf-8 as
outlined in the post at
