"Afterward, simply exit from this terminal."  None of these changes are
permanent.

An even simpler set of instructions would be:

1) Open a new terminal, or run a new instance of your shell.

2) export LC_ALL=C

3) Run your comands.  Paste the commands and their results into the body
   of your email.

4) Exit from this shell/terminal.
