In kmail composer I can't change font to koi8-r - I always see wrong character set :(
Maybe it's normal. Maybe it's FAQ but I can't find anything about it

What do you mean with can't change font. Is there a koi8-r entry in the 
options menu under set encoding or not?
In KMail 1.1.99 there are only those charsets listed you have a font 
installed for. There were still some charset related problems in KMail 
1.1.99 most of them are already fixed in CVS now but composing of koi8-r 
mail did work.

Strange since that works for most people. Nothing is recoded but some 
question marks might disappear if you change it and you should be able to 
enter cyrillic characters then.

I currently don't have an idea what could be wrong sorry.

If you are interested in KMail I would recommend to update the kdenetwork 
package from CVS. Most remaining charset problems are fixed there. 
Unfortunately snapshot generation is down at the moment therefore you need 
to use cvsup on anoncvs.
