The problem is that there is a special syntax of handling high octets in
header fields and that majordomo is not MIME aware. When the mail is sent
out as a part of a digets, the line is no longer part of the mail headers.
The fact that Majordomo is (not yet) MIME aware makes the majordomo digest
less than useful if multipart or html mail are exchanged on the list.
Your problem could be solved fairly easily by creating a small filter
which converts the encoded characters back into high octets. The filter
should be put just before Majordomo's digest. Such a filter could be
created in perl.
