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.
