Actually, Mailman is sending messages in UTF-8 character set as base64
encoded. Actually, many MUAs will also base64 encode UTF-8 message bodies.
This is actually a python email library thing. You can change the
encoding for UTF-8 message bodies with the following patch to
Mailman/Message.py, but if your messages are not predominately ascii
text, you won't like the result any better.
