$file_charset was the only name for the $attach_charset feature
since years in Debian packages, in the current stable release, and until
the forlast unstable package. When a user Googles for good setting of
this variable, there are better hits with $file_charset than with
$attach_charset. There are surely many users impacted (me and my muttrc
included :). I would have kept the synonym.
But it's not so important: The great news is inclusion of those
features! Thank you very much Brendan! :-)
About charsets, please also take a look at my short summary here in:

AFAICS nothing has changed since then (appart from points 1 and 2
now committed). I'd still recommend inclusion of msyk.iconv-hook and
M_ICONV_HOOK_sanitize patches (points 3 and 4), and ask reviewers for
$unknown_charset and multiple_charsets (points 7 and 8). Pointers to the
patches are in the summary.
Bye! Alain.
