Summary: Improve MIME header handling

Initial Comment:
This patch fixes a number of problems for non-English
archives. In particular:

- it normalizes the encoding name (converting to
lower-case, splitting of potential \r characters, and
splitting off potential quotes)

- if the article and the header encoding differ, it tries 
to preserve the decoded header as a Unicode string,
instead of immediately falling back to the MIME-encoded
one (if the encoding is not known to Python it will
still fall back)

- if a Unicode string needs to be formatted, it uses
character references for all non-ASCII characters.

I tried to apply this patch to mailman 2.0.8 and 2.0.9, and
both times the patch didn't apply cleanly. In fact 6 out of
10 hunks failed here. Any hints on that? For which version
was the patch created?

The second version of this patch expects and ignores
LookupError from unicode(), and it decodes the subjects from
the next and previous articles.
