It is a a bit off-topic, but your example long-winded. LC_TYPE isn't a
standard i18n variable (well, I doubt it is in use even on your system).
If you have working sets of locale descriptions, it should be sufficient
doing only your first declaration, eventually with explicit character
set:
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.iso-8859-1
Often people don't have working locale descriptions or get mail with
improper character set information.
