	Hi, Peter,

Historically ISO-8859-5 (almost) haven't been used in email neither for  
other purposes. It's useless. From the beginning russian community used  
KOI8-R, now KOI8-R and UTF-8 are used vaguely 50/50.

The menu choice itself is a little unobvious: I thought that it's a  
spell-checking choice until I looked into the source. (multipurpose)

Regards, Ildar
