Description:
------------
Documentations reads that listhelp text are expected to be UTF-8 and can use 
escape sequences like \uNNNN in addition to add special characters by character 
code.

However only the \uNNNN escape works, "real" unicode characters get replaced by 
one or more questionmarks.

Test script:
---------------
Just add a listhelp text with utf-8 characters.

Like
"Subject: List-help debugging with umlauts: ä

Body has some umplauts as well ä-ö-ü"

Expected result:
----------------
mail sent to the user should contain the characters as is.

Actual result:
--------------
Umlauts get replaced by questionmarks
