In this regard, I have three questions:
- Am I correct in assuming that I can just use my favorite editor (vi) to remove the offending characters from the file?
No. The file is a Python pickle and you can't edit it. You would need to
get the message and the metadata from the pickle (you could at least
view it with the mailman qfile command), edit the message and then
re-pickle the message and metadata.
- If I cannot find the offending character, is it safe to just remove the file so that subsequent archiving can proceed?
Yes.
- Can I do something to make hyperkitty go through the spool?
I don't know what you mean. Every time there is a new post to any list, Mailman core invokes the mailman_hyperkitty process to archive the message and the forst thing that process does is attempt to reprocess all the messages in the spool which fails because of the utf8mb4 issue.
