I went back to my Netscape 2.02 to figure out how do this,
and found that the prompt on their font selection page is
misleading. That's why I was never able to view these
documents. I thought I was supposed to pick what I
wanted to do, but I'm supposed to pick what the other
guy did.

I don't use the Netscape 2.02 browser, just the mail client.
These incoming emails with Cyrillic fonts have embedded HTML
without any URL links (typically they just have a phone
number to call, such as the American Language Center which
will teach you how to speak English, "even slang"). No URLs
so no Russian web pages to view.

>From the five emails I got this morning, these are the fonts:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=Windows-1251

The koi8-r font is already supported in Netscape 2.02.
Now that you had me work on this problem in a different
direction I know how to manually switch to it. I'm now
able to read the ad from the American Language Center
and the one for cell phones for 109 euro.

The windows-1251 font is also supported so I can use
that now, too. I'm all set.

Thanks, Steven.
