Yeah, but (in general) being tolerant is much, much work, because one
has to guess, and guessing is boring.  In this case, just ignoring the 
entire header would leave you with the default (text/plain; us-ascii), 
which is nice.

So I think (since I'm lazy) that Gnus should completely ignore invalid 
headers.
