I added the following to ~/.login_conf:

me:\
        :charset=KOI8-R:\
        :lang=ru_RU.KOI8-R:

SLRN and mutt started to send guarbage messages in some cases.

I decided that it is font related and tried to execute the following
command from ssh terminal:

        vidcontrol -f cp866b

I've the the following message:

vidcontrol: must be on a virtual console: Inappropriate ioctl for device

So, is there any way to change font loaded when using ssh terminal?

Also, how do I know which encoding to use (KOI8, DOS, Windows)?  What
if some messages use KOI8 and some are Windows?
