empty charset in header crashes admindb.py

[Rixhq]

when a message contains a header like this:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=

(note the empty charset)
The admindb.py details page page gives an error.
Traceback is below. Btw does this mean the charset
value in the header is directly mapped to a module name
to import? (sounds kinda scary...)
I know the real fault is in the message (I'm not sure
if the mime stripper caused this or a bad mailer), but
maybe mailman shouldn't crash on this.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/mailman/scripts/driver", line 87, in
run_main
    main()
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py",
