Summary: Traceback in error log - bounce handling

Initial Comment:
I got this traceback in my error log:

Jun 20 14:58:56 2002 (1992) Traceback (most recent call
last):
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line
105, in __oneloop
    self.__onefile(msg, msgdata)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line
154, in __onefile
    keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Queue/BounceRunner.py",
line 71, in _dispose
    addrs = BouncerAPI.ScanMessages(mlist, msg)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Bouncers/BouncerAPI.py",
line 60, in ScanMessages
    addrs = sys.modules[modname].process(msg)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Bouncers/Microsoft.py",
line 35, in process
    body = StringIO(subpart.get_payload())
TypeError: expected read buffer, list found

The following had probably happened:
1. A spam mail was sent to one of our lists.
2. The list tried to send a "waiting for moderator
approval" mail to the sender of the spam mail.
3. The "waiting for moderator approval" mail bounced
(because the sender address was, of course, invalid). 

The bounce in (3) gave me the traceback and was moved
to qfiles/shunt/. PCK file is attached to this bug
report. Let me know if you need the DB file too... :)

Okay, never mind, I've discarded the message. 
It was probably spam anyway..

If this message has been in the queue since before you
upgraded, it's still got a bogus representation, which won't
be automatically fixed.  You'd need to do some manual
hacking on the object representation and then re-save it. 
If the message is important to you and you can't fix it,
upload it or email it and I'll attempt to do so.  If the
message isn't important to you, just discard it.  Messages
sent after the upgrade should be fine.

Well, at least something must have happened, because now the 
traceback looks different, this is the output of dumpdb on it:

I think we resolved this one, didn't we?
