Balsa/Pine bug

When Balsa sends out email, it includes a header line:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: x-unknown
When Pine receives this email, if this line is present Pine thinks that
the text/plain message is in some foreign encoding, and forces you to go
down two levels in the attachment viewer just to read the email. If I
remove that line manually from the mail file, the message displays
normally. If the line will just be filled in with "x-unknown", does Balsa
really need to send it?
On a related note, Balsa labels its email as:
Content-Type: text/plain
Most other mailers indicate the character encoding on this line like so:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
or
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
or whatever
Pine doesn't seem to mind the missing information, but some other mail
readers might care. It can't hurt and might help to include the charset
field.
Thanks,
