Summary: Web member list has extra bad characters via email subscribe

Initial Comment:
When I subscribe via an email command with a 

password, then the user shows up in the memberlist 

with extra characters like:

u ' and \



The members who were subscribed using the web 

interface mass-subscription do NOT have any extra 

characters at all.



The user still gets emails from the list, but when you try 

and click on the user in the admin web interface it will 

not go to their user page (goes to the General Options 

page instead)



Here is the table row from the Mailman admin interface 

where you can see the extra characters:



<tr>

      <td><center>u'<INPUT 

name="amember at ap.org_unsub" type="CHECKBOX" 

value="off" >'</center></td>

      <td>u'<a 

href="u\'https://lists.some.org/mailman/options/hrep-

agr/amember--at--

ap.org\'">u\'amember at ap.org\'</a><br><INPUT 

name="amember at ap.org_realname" type="TEXT" 

value="" size="23" ><INPUT name="user" type="HIDDEN"
