   No luck with this setup.  When I try to post a message, tin (2.6.3)   
   says:   
      
      ERR: Posting failed (Posting failed (Unsupported charset "KOI8-RU"))   
      
   which is actually strange, because encoding option is a drop-down   
   list with predefined values, and of course it should be `koi8-r'   
   rather than `KOI8-RU'.   
      
   # Anton exists tin, fixes his tinrc by hand, runs tin again   
      
   Indeed! It is a bug in my version of tin:   
   the menu has KOI8-RU instead of koi8-r .   
   Thank you!
