is translit generally available or does it depend on the compilation options of iconv? we had UTF8//IGNORE in the past and it was troublesome

No idea, but used a lot in so many projects & environments and I haven't spotted a single issue. I found both //TRANSLIT and //IGNORE options everywhere I read anything about Iconv. Honestly I've never even think this can failed (at least with clear from and to encodings and without autodetections).
There was some problems in some Iconv implementations, for example on some docker alphine images, but IMHO nothing so unusual & there was some fixes for it (mainly updates binaries from edges).
This PR is as a suggestion, if someone has a better experience with character encoding then please review and replace.

#3908 was the older thread about //IGNORE issues.

Honestly I see no risk here, cause this change does even matter only if there was an exception thrown, which is currently not handled properly, preventing some users from reading emails with corrupted encodings, which IMHO is more annoying than potential risk of misleading characters replacement. If under any environment this will fail, then again, now it is failing anyway too, so nothing change really.

The risk is that there are possibly environments that currently work and will break with this change.
Could you check if Alpine's iconv handles //TRANSLIT without any issues?
#3908 (comment) for the specific issues we had earlier.
If translit works with all iconv implementations I'm okay with this change 👍
Thanks

Does anyone think that this PR can fix my issue anonaddy/anonaddy#485 |

Closing due to lack of clarity regarding the support of //TRANSLIT across platforms #8327 (comment) |
