Are you sure it's mailman's fault?  The copy I got of the original looked like 
it was sent by something that just dumped its data into the body of the 
non-MIME mail it created as raw UTF-8.  I suppose making the mails MIME 
messages and indicating the correct Content-Type with charset info and an 
appropriate Content-Transfer-Encoding would work better (+ possibly applying 
e.g. quoted-printable for extra safety).
