   Hi, Gleb Hlebov!   
   I read your message from 16.09.2024 11:42   
      
    AS>> I ask this question here simply because on this machine I cannot   
    AS>> read or write Russian-language FidoNet articles (yet). What is the   
    AS>> default encoding of a Russian FidoNet message, the one assmed in   
    AS>> default of a CHRS cludge? Is it koi8-r or 866?   
      
      
    GH> It's set to 866 in its "native" software. If you're using an NNTP   
    GH> client under Linux it should be KOI8-R.   
      
    GH> For tin, add/edit the line in tinrc as follows:   
      
    GH> mm_network_charset=koi8-r   
      
   Modern and even not very modern NNTP clients can also be tuned for UTF-8. In   
   this case you must use a FIDO gate with UTF-8 support, like this for instance,   
   which I use for many years (Thunderbird mail client):

   PS: You must add a Russian keyboard of course in your operating system.   
      
   Bye, Gleb!
