Thanks. In case, this was not clear, I hadn't added //TRANSLIT for
gettext messages, but for general output of mail messages in the
terminal (as transliteration is not enabled by default for such
output). But it appears that the "charset" variable is used for
anything related to the terminal (which makes sense for users who
set this variable to correct the charset obtained by default from
the environment).
