[Mailman-Users] UnicodeError in admindb interface

[ts North]

I run several mailing lists under Mailman 2.1.6.   Recently 
 one of my mailing lists received 2 spam messages, I was able
 to delete one of them using the moderator admindb interface, but
 when I tried to delete the second message, I got the "hit a bug"
 page (traceback is listed below).
 
 At that point I: ran check_db and check_perms, restarted the daemon,
 cleared out the locks.  No luck.
 
 I found the heldmsg in data/ and deleted the message manually,
 which seems to have made matters worse.  Now when I access the 
 admindb web page for the mailing list, it throws the error right away before displaying the admindb page (same traceback as before).  
 
 I suspect I may have not deleted everything I need to delete.  I have
 considered upgrading to 2.1.7, but thought I should resolve this issue
 first.
 
 Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks,
