Displaying Windows-1251 character set

[David Sumbler]

Occasionally I get e-mails containing these headers:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=Windows-1251
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The contents appear as

\315\356\342\345\351\370\350\345

etc.  Sometimes I get e-mails with

Content-Type: text/html; charset=Windows-1251
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

and these appear as a lot of gibberish accented characters.

Most of these e-mails appear to be spam, so I'm not too bothered.

But how do I go about displaying these sensibly?  I'm running Fedora
Core 2 Linux, on a console set to UTF-8.

However, if you _really_ want to send me an e-mail,
replace "nospam" in my address with "aeolia".
