Summary: 'macintosh' encoding alias for 'mac_roman'

Initial Comment:
OS X's Mail.app can generate Subject lines like:
Subject: =?MACINTOSH?B?vLu7vMGqo6KwpKalu7w=?=

(Which decodes to 
'\xbc\xbb\xbb\xbc\xc1\xaa\xa3\xa2\xb0\xa4\xa6\xa5\xbb\xb
c')

This appears to be what Python calls the mac_roman
encoding. I suggest adding 'macintosh' as an alias to
'mac_roman' to encodings/aliases.py to allow the email
package to decode these headers.

Are you sure ? The decoded string you give does not look
like anything readable...
