#672 Subscription confirmation fails
If the list language is english, but a subscribing user chooses a
different language (e.g. norwegian), the following error occurs when
confirming the subscription:
admin(5296): Traceback (most recent call last):

The user then recieves the welcome-to-this-mailing-list email, but is
not subscribed to the list.
