Tell me the result ;-)              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              --        Quoted with Reformator/Quoter.
