Public bug reported:
cron sends mail with the following header:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ANSI_X3.4-1968
This is a non-canonical alias for the preferred charset name "us-ascii"
[1]. A previous changelog entry (for 3.0pl1-101) states that this was
previously fixed:
- Do not use ANSI_x3.4-1968 but US-ASCII instead since it is the preferred
MIME name as per http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets";
(Closes: #415302)
However the code to do this translation is not currently working due to
an incorrect assumption about the case of nl_langinfo's output (it
currently returns "ANSI_X3.4-1968", whereas the code checks case-
sensitively for "ANSI_x3.4-1968").
