senddigests can crash

[Sjoerd-users]

In certain circumstances the senddigests cron job can
crash. Here is the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/mailman/cron/senddigests", line 94, in ?
    main()
  File "/var/mailman/cron/senddigests", line 86, in main
    mlist.send_digest_now()
  File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Digester.py", line 60, in
send_digest_now
    ToDigest.send_digests(self, mboxfp)
  File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py",
line 130, in send_digests
    send_i18n_digests(mlist, mboxfp)
  File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py",
line 303, in send_i18n_digests
    msg = scrubber(mlist, msg)
  File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py",
line 308, in process
    t = t.encode(charset, 'replace')
  File
"/ufs/sjoerd/src/Python/dist/src/Lib/encodings/__init__.py",
line 69, in search_function
    globals(), locals(), _import_tail)
ValueError: Empty module name

The reason of the crash is that charset in the call to
t.encode is the empty string. Why it is that, I don't
know, and I don't have the email message that triggered
it. But apparently it's possible, so should be
protected against.

This is with Python 2.3 and current CVS.
