Title:
  cron: non-canonical MIME charset used in mail

Status in “cron” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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").
