$NMH_LANG -> <.mh_profile> -> locale() seems like a reasonable hierarchy that 
covers pretty much any scenario.

I.e., the standard (MH-modified) UNIX model is:

1) command line (-locale)
2) mh-command-specific profile entry (.mh-profile)
3) environment ($NMH_LANG)
4) profile default override (.mh-profile)
5) OS environment default (locale())

It's arguable about the ordering of (2) and (3).  But if I really needed this 
level of control in real life, I can't see how I would have both in play.
