Hello, I actually have the same problem with Yahoo e-mail and I do not know why. It is a long way to do it, but this is what i do. I type my e-mail in word processor (because it supports Russian characters) and then I cut and paste it into the yahoo mail. Удачи!(Good luck)

You can try PROMT translation software. It covers English to/from Russian, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese and their combinations.\nThe Professional version (@promt 7.0 Professional) supports Image file translation, which converts the OCR results into a text file and translate it on-the fly.\nCheck http://www.smartlinkcorp.com/promt/

If your using Firefox, try going to the View->Character Encoding in the main toolbar and selecting the correct one for your letters.  I don't use IE but it's probably the same kind of thing.

The encoding on the message is not set to Western / Latin-1. Forward the message inline back to the client and ask them to check that their e-mail program is using the proper encoding.

As for the ??????s, that can only mean that the application you were using doesn't support Russian text. Look for a something on the appropriate web-site, or try an application that DOES support Russian text.\n\nWith the IM, it's more than likely that although it supports and shows Russian, it doesn't have any suitable software for actually translating it. Short of having a Russian in the room with you, try pasting the IM message into an online translation engine. I know they're rubbish, but it's got to be better than having no translation at all!

What you're likely getting there is an e-mail from somebody using an international character set that isn't installed on your system.  Chinese, for example, uses UNICODE characters and needs a chinese font.  \n\n(Gross simplification here: English and European languages have a pretty small set of characters, including upper and lower case letters, numbers, punctuation marks, etc.  Chinese, Japanese, Sanskrit, etc. need many more symbols, which means a different way of organizing the characters).\n\nI'm going to assume you're using a browser-based e-mail system like Yahoo mail.  Follow the link in the "sources" box below.  It's some sort of Chinese lyrics web site I found for this answer.  Do you see the strange symbols you're talking about?  If so, that's likely what's happening.  \n\nYou can download a few common character sets, like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. and see if you can see the characters in your e-mail subject line.  Not that that'll help you understand them, of course.\n\nIf you're having this problem with a stand-alone e-mail client (ie, not your web browser) you may have an older e-mail program that doesn't support UNICODE.  You may want to look into upgrading.

I have checked my Win.ini file and the entry that you mention is not listed on mine. I have had a look around and it would appear that the program it references is Russian in origin and definitely should not be there. Have a look at the two pages whose links are below and go from there, they should help you sort out the problem.

Highlight the text you do want to send. hit CTRL and C.\n\nOpen your new email and put the cursor at the top left of the text page and hit CTRL and V.\n\nYour recipients will appreciate the extra headers & garbage removed and your emails will look a lot better.

You could translate it somewhere like http://babelfish.altavista.com/ before you send it.
