Steps to reproduce:
   - subscribe to any Russian news group (for example, fido7.russian.z1 from 
news.fido7.ru)
   - download messages headers
   - look at the messages list window

Additional info: 
   - Mozilla version is 0.9 completed May 7, 2001
   - default system locale is Russian, current user system locale is Russian
   - also I've seen this bug on Windows NT 4.0 SP6 and Linux (kernel 2.4.4) as 
well

View->Folder Character Coding is used for displaying message headers.
Try setting that to KOI8-R for your folders.
It should work in 0.9
However Folder Character Coding is broken on the latest nightly builds, see bug
81786

Yes, I'am going to try your recomendations tonight on my home desktop (with the 
latest build). I'll let you know about results.

Thanks, I was asking marina for a help in fact.
Anyway, attaching a screen shot would help identifying the problem.

Alexey: bug # 81786 prevents you to set Folder charset (or change it), so if you
subscribe to the russian newsgroup you won't be able to see headers in the
thread displayed correctly but if you already have a russian folder the you
won't have this problem.I have a russian newsgroup : relcom.cinema and the
folder charset is KOI8-R, i have no problem seeing headers. If you are talking
about "not being able to change the folder encoding to russian koi8-r" then it
is a dup of 81786.
Please clarify the issue.

Set depends on bug 81786 (might be a dup).

Lesha, what happens if you set folder character encoding to KOI8-R, not User
Defined or UTF? It used to work absolutely fine for me in Mozilla-0.9, until bug
81786 made it impossible to set character encoding to KOI8-R in recent builds.

Comment 12

[Aleksey Sanin]

Yes, it looks like I've seen the duplicate of #81786: I do see this bug on
today's build and everything works fine on Mozilla 0.9 release. I was surprised
that I need to set encoding in the message list separatelly (View->Folder
Character Coding ). On the version I used before (0.8?) I set encoding only once
(View->Character Coding) and it works in both message list and messages itself.
I am sorry for confusion.

let's mark this one as a dup of 81786 and when the fix will be checked in, 
please see if it fixes your problem and if it doesn't reopen the bug
