 Mutt doesn't need to recognize //TRANSLIT strings. The fact that I have
 a //TRANSLIT string in my $charset should not have any effect on what
 Mutt sends. $charset is only a terminal-related variable:

   Character set your terminal uses to display and enter textual data.

 Yes, but this doesn't explain why Mutt generates something with
 //TRANSLIT in the headers.
