Turning this around ... all we really care about is LC_CTYPE.

Historically, MH and nmh have set LC_ALL.  Should we just set
LC_CTYPE instead?

You mean setlocale(LC_ALL, "")?  Which really means "Just take everything
from the environment", right?

Sigh.  I don't know.  I see arguments for both.  Personally, to me this
is another argument that we shouldn't be doing this AT ALL, but that bridge
has been crossed already :-/  I was only pointing out that if the concern
is really that changing your locale messes up your prefered collation,
fixing that is trivial.
