I can take Russian.

Is it possible to support the 2nd russian encoding, CP866 ? Koi-8
is popular among Relcom (UUCP and IP - based network) and CP866 is
popular among corporate users (for data bases etc.). Really I use
Koi-8 for reading of russian e-mail only and I'll throw it away as soon
as I'll have installed a converter.

I hope that I'll be quick but I'm not shure.
