Pine is  looking at character  set as defined  by MIME (Multimedia Internet
Mail Extensions  ...  I think).   I think  LISTSERV  eats some of the  MIME
headers, which are   telling Pine what to  do,   when you use  its  default
subscription  settings ...  try setting    your list subscription to   IETF
(i.e. tell LISTSERV  "SET listname IETF")  and see if  that does the trick.
If it does, you'll need to do
        SET listname IETF FOR *@*
and then put
        Default-Options=IETF
into the list header.
