Bug Description

There seems to be a bug in parsing the confirmation of
an invitation to join a mailing list. I suspect this has
something to do with MIME decoding of the Subject:
header.

When sending a reply to the autogenerated invitation (in
my case, using pine), with this header:

Subject: Re:
 =?iso-8859-1?q?confirm_55ed0163ec2f0a56ac257f708b
470b6a892935f2?=

nothing happened. But when sending a reply with this
header (which was the case if I used Netscape Mail or
Evolution):

Subject: Re: confirm
9924a8cb2e31d2f1605ca6228ff210901ff17aba

I was subscribed. Maybe Mailman doesn't decode the
Subject: before parsing it?
