[issue36180] mboxMessage.get_payload throws TypeError on malformed content type

A simplified reproducer as below. The tuple is returned from here https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/830b43d03cc47a27a22a50d777f23c8e60820867/Lib/email/message.py#L93 and perhaps is an untested code path? The charset gets a tuple value of ('utf-8��', '', '"utf-8Â\xa0"') . 


import mailbox
import tempfile

broken_message = """
