It looks like something is encoding the characters as utf-8 and then
the utf-8 characters are not being identified/rendered properly.

What does the raw subject header look like in the mail that comes to
you directly? Is it RFC 2047 encoded
<http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2047.html>, or is it just a raw subject
with non-ascii characters encoded in some non-specified character set.

Also, what is the list's preferred language?

The only issue of which I am aware in current mailman is that non-RFC
2047 encoded 8-bit characters in the subject will cause the addition
of subject_prefix to be skipped.
