In both cases I am talking about the %hash<<key>> syntax (per
ASCII-transliterated version of the operator).

Bonus hate:

    Software which does not cope with UTF-8, like your MUA, is
    massively hateful.
    
    But you're using a sufficiently recent mutt, so it is
    configurable to cope. Adding `//TRANSLIT` to your $charset
    should suffice to make to make a best-effort attempt to
    transliterate undisplayable glyphs to something available in
    your charset. No, I'm not sending UTF-8 out of flowery
    notions, I actually need it. Yes, my MUA is configured
    correctly.
