We are upgrading to a much more recent version of mailman 2 within the
next few weeks to deal with a different header mangling issue, so I
think it will also solve this issue. We will find out. I will send an
announcement to warn people about the upgrade about 48 hours beforehand.

I don't read this list normally, so if you have questions like this in
future, email address@hidden, or if it's urgent,
https://www.gnu.org/contact/ which should lead you to irc. In cases
where there is sysadmin work to track, I or someone address@hidden also
cc address@hidden, so I'm doing that now.
