This seems to be a bug in python-email rather than Mailman. I think it doesn't make sense to set errors to "strict" rather than something like "replace" when the intention is to parse stuff so free-formed, under-specd and user-controlled as email. Nonetheless, Mailman could override this upstream choice and contruct the Header class with "replace". I will file a request upstream.
