I don't know if any of the Lynx developers knows Russian, so let's try to
find out where the problem is. Check the lines below with your mailreader
and with Lynx in the Lynx-Dev archives at http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html
and tell me which ones ("a" or "b"), if any, are correctly displayed when
using KOI8-R or any other Cyrillic character set (ISO 8859-5, CP866,
Windows-1251) in your terminal. If "a" or "b" are correctly displayed, tell
me which character set correctly displays them.
