RE: Proposal about adding cp1251 (Russian Windoz) encoding in Emacs

[Krjukov Victor]

If I'm not wrong (http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/1251.htm)
cp1251 is a character set with cyrillic letters added in the upper half
of character table; i'm not sure people in Korea, for example, or even
in France with their accented letters really want their Emacs on Windows
switch to this language environment automatically. On the other hand,
this should be the default _cyrillic_ language environment on Windows
systems for sure.
