It's a bit more complicated cause Mailman gets this right:
ARM Linux Mailing List <linux-arm-kernel@lists.arm.linux.org.uk>,
It also gets RFC2407 right:
=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ville_Syrj=E4l=E4?= <syrjala@sci.fi>
I guess it's a combination that goes wrong:
=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Hans-J=FCrgen_?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Koch?= <hjk@linutronix.de>
Maybe if Jürgen's mailer made that something like:
=?ISO-8859-1Q!Hans-J=FCrgen_Koch?=
Mailman wouldn't have crippled the address?
Oh well, rmk isn't available for a few days so I can't really debug the Mailman version on lists.arm.linux.org.uk :(
