It's a bit more complicated cause Mailman gets this right:

  ARM Linux Mailing List 
  <linux-arm-kernel@...ts.arm.linux.org.uk>,

It also gets RFC2407 right:

  =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ville_Syrj=E4l=E4?= <syrjala@....fi>

I guess it's a combination that goes wrong:

  =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Hans-J=FCrgen_?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Koch?= 
  <hjk@...utronix.de>

Maybe if Jürgen's mailer made that something like:

 =?ISO-8859-1Q!Hans-J=FCrgen_Koch?=

Mailman wouldn't have crippled the address?

Oh well, rmk isn't available for a few days so I can't really debug the
Mailman version on lists.arm.linux.org.uk :(
