send-email: ask confirmation if given encoding name is very short
Sometimes people respond "y<ENTER>" (or "yes<ENTER>") when asked this question: Which 8bit encoding should I declare [UTF-8]? We already have a mechanism to avoid accepting a mistyped e-mail address (we ask to confirm when the given address lacks "@" in it); reuse it to trigger the same confirmation when given a very short answer. As a typical charset name is probably at least 4 chars or longer (e.g. "UTF8" spelled without the dash, or "Big5"), this would prevent such a mistake.
