I confirm the issue. I guess List does automatically translate Values to html entities, which is wrong in this case as it is correctly saved as utf8 (uencoded) in the db.

By taking off the htmlentities() in
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/plugins/fields/list/tmpl/list.php#L31
i.e. replacing by echo implode(', ', $texts);
it solves the issue here.
But I guess we should rather have a specific code when list is used with mail.
wow, that goes much further:
If I use text instead of list, I have the same issue.
There too it uses htmlentities()
