Subject: what does this mean?

Several times in email msgs I have received the following:

[The following text is in the "iso-8859-1" character set]
[Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set]
[Some characters may be displayed incorrectly]

Where does this message come from?  Is it automatically 
generated by pine?  How do you know when someone's display
might garble your message?

It is created by pine when the "charset" parameter in the MIME headers do
not match what is set for your system.

Yes, it is an informative message only.

You don't.
