If those were in a real Subject: header, and you had a sophisticated
enough MUA, you'd see those characters in the proper charset. I
wouldn't expect many MUAs recognize RFC 2047 encoding in the body of a
message.
At some point, Mailman should probably decode those characters and add
them decoded to the subject headers, although there may be trouble
with content-transfer-encodings and such.
