This shouldn't be happening. Is the non-ascii subject properly RFC 2047
encoded or does it actually have non-ascii bytes?

If the former, prefixing should work. If the latter, the message is
non-compliant and all bets are off (we don't even know the character set
of the subject), but we should try to make it work anyway.

In order to know how to fix it if it can be fixed, I'd like to see the
original raw subject as it arrives to Mailman, and what Mailman version
is this?
