Re: TECH: Cyrillics (was: Russian, anyone?)

Well, that's *really* strange. I've never heard about such things. Since I
received everything correct, the listserver doesn't mix them up. Then it means
that if smbody still receives a mess of it, the problem is with his own server
or mail client. I can send you privately test msgs in various Cyr encodings to
see if you get them right, but I'll be able to do it only Saturday evening:
Passover seder will start in 2 hours!
...and I disaapear from the List for three days, but I'll gather all the mail,
and will read them after the Yom Tov (=the Festival) and the Sabbath, when Hhol
ha-Mo`ed (ordinary days of festival) begin...
