The problem is filed in mailman bug report:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1578539&group_id=103&atid=100103

While Microsoft Entourage's way of encoding iso-8859-1
text is not compliant with RFC-2047, Python
email.header.decode_header should treat this 'word' as
a simple us-ascii string and should not parse into
series of string/charset list.

Sm=?ISO-8859-1?B?9g==?=rg=?ISO-8859-1?B?5Q==?=sbord
should be parsed as
[('Sm=?ISO-8859-1?B?9rg==?=g=?ISO-8859-1?B?5Q==?=sbord',
None)], not as [('Sm', None), ('\xf6', 'iso-8859-1'),
('g', None), ('\xe5', 'iso-8859-1'), ('sbord', None)]
