I looked at other messages from this sender (received directly) and 
the subjects were encoded entirely so I thought this was also the 
case for the messages transported by mailman.

Now I asked him for a mail sent from the same environment as the list 

messages were and indeed, the 8 bit characters were encoded 
separately (Microsoft Entourage) - stupid.
