The relevant code is Mailman/SecurityManager.py line 108 which says
userdata = urllib.quote(Utils.ObscureEmail(user), safe='')
Utils.ObscureEmail(user) is what replaces the '@' in the email address
with '--at--'. I think it would be fine to just change that line to
userdata = urllib.quote(user, safe='')
This will leave the '@' unchanged in user, but urllib.quote will change
it to %40 which I think is OK. The Cookie name is a 'token' as defined
in RFC 2616, sec 2.2 and allows '%' (but not '@'). The inversion at
lines 318-319 does `Utils.UnobscureEmail(urllib.unquote(u))`.
urllib.unquote will convert %40 back to @ and UnobscureEmail will ignore
the '@', so all should be good.
