Summary: "#" in mail address confuses mailman

Initial Comment:
someone recently managed to subscribe himself to
the python.org image-sig mailing list, using an add-
ress looking a bit like this one:

    prefix#user@some.com

unfortunately, the web interface doesn't escape the
"#" character, so the web pages for this user cannot
be accessed:

    http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/image-
sig/prefix#user--at--some.com

(the browser strips off the "#" and everything after
it before sending the URL to mailman...).

I'm not sure what version python.org is running,
but I suspect that the Barry person might be able
to figure that out.

cheers /F
