Hey, you _really_ speak Cyrillic-based languages? Maybe even Russian?;-)
Well, answering your question... Goto Account-->Properties-->Templates
-->New Message-->Use Character Set: and set it to KOI8-R.
Now create a new message. You should see "Cyrillic (KOI8-R)" in the status
line of the message editor now (lower right corner of the editor). Here you can
change the encoding, if you so wish: just rightclick this area of the statusline.
Now all you need is to enter the text of your message (NO extra software
needed, just the font should support Cyrillic). Ensure that you have set up
some font that has Cyrillic script in it in Options-->Editor Preferences-->
Display-->Font. For example, Courier New should fit your needs. If you
haven't right font installed, try d/loading it from, for example, ftp.relcom.ru.
What you need is a monospaced TT font in CP1251 encoding (Windows-
encoded, as it's usually referred to).
Now you need to enter your text. To do so, you'll probably need to install
Cyrillic keyboard in Start-->Control Panel-->Keyboard-->Languages applet.
Then, having switched the keyboard layout (consult online help in the
Windows applet noted above on how to do so) to Russian (or whatever), start
typing. You should see the Cyrillic characters correctly now.
Test how it works: try sending a bit of Cyrillic here, I'll tell you how it works;-)

Thought for the day:
When things are going well, something will go wrong.
Corollaries:
1.When things just can't get any worse, they will.
2.Anytime things appear to be going better, you
have overlooked something.
