   That is brilliant.  I *do* have multiple keyboards set up primarily for   
   Latvian and English.  Now, added RU.   
      
   I can make is work, almost.   
      
   In order to get a reasonable result, I have to,   
      
   [1] switch keyboard to RU.   
   [2] copy the Russian text at website into clipboard.   
   [3] open Ref/Quo, switch to RU.   
   [4] press "From clipboard".   
      
   ...but the text changes a bit.   
      
   This is in the clipboard:   
      
   	До свидания   
      
   	Спасибо   
      
   But it looks "different" when I paste it into Ref/Quo.   
      
   See:   
      
   	http://pics.rsh.ru/img/ref-quorussiantest_jo9oo3o4.jpg   
      
   As you can see, RU is selected for Ref/Quo.   
      
   I do not see the proper Russian letters in Ref/Quo.   
      
   But, when I highlight the "different" text in Ref/Quo back into my editing   
   program (or this message program) it changes to proper Russian letters!   
      
   I can live with the "difference" while quoting the original message in Ref/Quo   
   if the "real" letters will show up once the text is copied. This result is   
   much better than the "??? ???????" !   :)   
      
   Спасибо
