The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[IKEDA Soji <address@concealed>]

Sorry Goltz, you are right. 

However, I suppose patch to mail.pm is not required.
Instead, list names should also be encoded at beginning of
sympasoap::subscribe() etc.  Though they contain only ASCII,
they have utf8 flags set!

If you send complete patch, I'd like to check it and apply.

Regards,

--- Soji
