So are you implying that "UTF-8" is a valid choice?

The most useful hunk of the help for the character-set setting is:

The default value for this option is "US-ASCII". The value you choose for
this option should reflect the character set supported by the terminal or
emulator Pine is using for its display since that device is responsible
for rendering the non-US-ASCII characters. Similarly, how you input 8-bit
characters is a function of the display device, and not something Pine
can provide. You'll need to consult the terminal (or emulator)
documention for input instruction. Typical values for this option might
include "ISO-8859-N", where N might be a number between 1 and 9, or 13,
or 15.

Which made me think that "UTF-8" wasn't a valid choice.
