Summary: Uncaught runner exception: iteration over non-sequence

Initial Comment:
I don't normally check /var/log/mailman/error as long as everything seems to be working, but today I noticed loads of errors like this one:

I can provide more samples if necessary. I have searched the tracker for other reports like this, but haven't seen any ...

I have looked further at the shunt queue entry
1167220351.925714+67431f92e260e4da420214c9a343ace677ca1acd.pck. Here's what
I see.

This message was a password reminder, originally generated by mailman on
May 1, 2006. It was addressed to a user whose preferred language appears to
be Korean as it is 'Content-Type: text/plain, charset="euc-kr"' with
'Subject: =?euc-kr?q?uni-koeln=2Ede_mailing_list_memberships_reminder?='.

Apparently there was some error at that time which caused the message to
be shunted. I am a bit confused about what happened next because the time
stamp on the queue entry and the received_time in the message's metadata
are 1167220351.925714 which is 11:52:31 Dec 27, 2006 +0000.

However, the message metadata says the message was originally in the 'in'
queue, so I think it must have been unshunted to the 'in' queue where it
couldn't be properly processed, causing it to be shunted again in December,
2006.

The question now is what is causing these messages to be reprocessed at
this point, and why would a message that threw an exception in trying to
flatten the message in SpamDetect be shunted with a 14+ month old time
stamp?

In any case, I think the current error with this particular message is due
to it's being unshunted to the wrong queue.

The file you attached appears to be a password reminder with a lot of
garbled unicode. Have you changed the characterset for the german language
to utf-8? There is some issue with the templates/de/cronpass.txt template
or a list specific version of it.

The queue entry you attached is not the one from the reported traceback
and it seems to have a different problem. When I attempt to look at it with
bin/dumpdb or bin/show_qfiles, I get UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec
can't encode character u'\uc774' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
in a different part of Generator.py.

I see that you see the same.

What is your Mailman version?

Also, if I look at the contents of the queue entry, it appears to be a
password reminder which is strange.

I don't have time to look at this further right now, but if you can, can
you find the 1167220351.925714+8af35bc9b49ca21d542d7fac99bdb87a688619ef.pck
and attach that.

Also, is the error in Mailman's error log for the
1167220351.925714+67431f92e260e4da420214c9a343ace677ca1acd.pck file the
same UnicodeEncodeError that you get from show_qfiles and dumpdb, or is it
the TypeError as in the original report?

OK, I have attached the file. Its name is different, but I guess it's the
same(?):

There is a problem with the message. Try running bin/show_qfiles or if
that doesn't work, bin/dumpdb on one or more of the shunted files (e.g.
qfiles/shunt/1167220351.925714+8af35bc9b49ca21d542d7fac99bdb87a688619ef.pck).

In any case, can you send me this file or attach it to this report.
