It won't introduce an error, per se. See the situation -
1. Mail arrives with content/type=text/html
2. You reply to / forward it using PINE
3. PINE uses the same charset as the original mail
4. You send out mails as html - even though you are using pine
5. This often leads to badly formated html mail being sent.
got it? It's not a bug - just yet another random feature :)
