Public bug reported:

For mail with a header:
  From: =?utf-8?B?TVVTSUwsIFRvbcOhxaE=?= <[email protected]>

Mailman will decode it as mail address <musil> asking for non-subscribed mail 
address approval.
$ perl -MMIME::Base64 -le 'print decode_base64("TVVTSUwsIFRvbcOhxaE=")'
MUSIL, Tomáš

The mail comes from some Microsoft crap but it is a bug in Mailman as according 
to RFC 2047 6.2:
  NOTE: Decoding and display of encoded-words occurs *after* a structured field 
body is parsed into tokens.
at least according to: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=318281
