Thread: Russian Text No Longer Shows Up!

хахахаха
вот прикиньте, тут всего день бардак с кодировками и уже всего то от парочки зюков такая буча
а мы так маемся с win 3.11-ых времён и по сей день

есть такая программа Agama MailReader
вот она знает !восемь с половиной тысяч!
способов извратить русскую кодировку при пересылке электронной почты

Everything being new that's being written is showing up, but anything old isn't...you know what I mean yo?

Это? Интерестно... Я не понимаю.

It was because of recent update. Should be working fine now. Let me know.

Thanks, it works now!

Just to avoid leaving incorrect information

This is not correct (you can read corresponding materials on the Web, they are readily available, see for example well-known Web Internationalization links on my site listed in my profile):

so if u are too desperate to have cyrillic coding...u have to format and reinstall windows and when prompted, select ur language as russian..

ps- u can also try selecting russian language option in control panel>regional settings...tho i m not sure it will help !!

1) Browsers (unlike Notepad) do NOT care about the Windows installation

2) There is no such thing in Internet Explorer as default encoding

.
So we have to change manually to Cyrillic (or to German or to Chinese - does NOT matter) only in the following cases:

- if site does not provide the information about its encoding -
neither via HTTP Header nor via META..charset in the .html itself

- if site does provide the encoding information, but it's incorrect, for example, "Western" while the page is really in Russian or "Cyrillic" while the page is really in German
