I'm not convinced it's a problem with rfc2047 handling; I think it's
simpler brain-damage than that on mailman's part. It's to do with line
wrapping, iirc -- if an address spans two lines, like: David Woodhouse
<dwmw2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, then mailman will brokenly insert a comma where
the line break happened -- or something like that.
