"dOROGIE" Seelangovsty,

Gee, I've been seeing a lot of Cyrillic in the default koi8 being crushed into
"transliterated" koi7 (Russian "I love you" becomes q TEBQ L`BL`).

I now have a quick and dirty on-the-fly solution for this (Windows 95/98
users). It won't guarantee that the messages you send won't be mangled. But it
will help you unmangle messages from others. Go to
http://www.gwu.edu/~slavic/gw-cyrillic/koi7.exe and download that file. It
provides a font and instructions on how to deal with pLOHAQ kIRILLICA.

Or visit http://www.gwu.edu/~slavic/gw-cyrillic/cyrilize.htm, and read the part
about e-mail in Russian. It also has links to the koi7 package.

Best regards,
Rich Robin
