If you are unable to convince people to use compliant MUAs, you can
patch Mailman in a couple of different ways to address this problem.
If you are willing to have the non-ascii characters replaced by '?' in
the subject, you can patch Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py as follows
(line numbers for Mailman 2.1.9)

# If the subject_prefix contains '%d', it is replaced with the

In your case, since the unencoded characters in the subject are probably
iso-8859-1 characters, you could instead (or in addition) apply (watch
for wrapped line below)
