Why no Cyrillic?

[Susan Bauckus]

Cyrillic does not always travel well by email across platforms. For
example, I just got a message from a Russian bookstore where I placed an
order. It's all in Cyrillic, or at least that's what it was when they typed
it. But it came to me in an unreadable form, so I don't have a clue when my
books will arrive. from other platforms, Cyrillic works fine for me but
might not for someone else. using transliteration is the only way you can
make sure your message is readable and it's also a bibliographic
convention.
