That table is, among other things, used to map locale charsets
to MIME charsets.  It's not at all unnecessary.

What mutt can't handle are malformed RFC 2047 encodings.  Some
character set identifiers that mutt knows about for locale
purposes can't show up in RFC 2047 encoded strings legitimately.

That's all.
