emacs: avoid type errors due to nil as content-type

The output of "notmuch show --format=sexp --format-version=4"
may contain `:content-type' entries with `nil' as the value,
when it fails to detect the correct value.  Account for that
in a few places where we would otherwise risk a type error.

Note that `string=' does not choke on `nil' because it uses
the `symbol-name' when encountering a symbol.
