Re: Problem with some koi8-r encoded document

The main problem is that supporting KOI8 requires special code;
neither code intended to support ISO-2022 nor code for Unicode can
support KOI8 directly.  It's very hard to develop and maintain.

As far as I can tell (as a non-Russian speaker), KOI8-R works fine with

         M-x set-language-environment RET Cyrillic-KOI8 RET.

If that helps, put

              (set-language-environment "Cyrillic-KOI8")

in your init file.

If it doesn't help, try [email protected][1]; you'll probably
get a faster answer.  I know people are able to use KOI8.  I'll work
on it, but I have other duties and will have to create a KOI8
environment, so it will take time.

You can also post (in English) to [email protected].

Another thing to try is to use a non-Mule XEmacs with a KOI8 font.
No-Mule XEmacs doesn't care about ISO-2022, and you can probably use
something like ru-keys.el, or keyboard remapping in your console or
window system, to do input.


Footnotes: 
[1]  Cyrillic posts are OK there.  Do not use 8-bit characters in the
headers or you will fall into the spam trap.  If you want to use
Russian in the headers, it MUST be MIME-encoded.  KOI8-R and
ISO-8859-5 are both OK in the body.
