That is brilliant.  I *do* have multiple keyboards set up primarily for Latvian 
and English.  Now, added RU.

I can make is work, almost.

In order to get a reasonable result, I have to,

[1] switch keyboard to RU.
[2] copy the Russian text at website into clipboard.
[3] open Ref/Quo, switch to RU.
[4] press "From clipboard".

....but the text changes a bit.

This is in the clipboard:

	До свидания

	Спасибо

But it looks "different" when I paste it into Ref/Quo.

See:

	http://pics.rsh.ru/img/ref-quorussiantest_jo9oo3o4.jpg

As you can see, RU is selected for Ref/Quo.

I do not see the proper Russian letters in Ref/Quo.

But, when I highlight the "different" text in Ref/Quo back into my editing 
program (or this message program) it changes to proper Russian letters!

I can live with the "difference" while quoting the original message in Ref/Quo 
if the "real" letters will show up once the text is copied. This result is much 
better than the "??? ???????" !   :)

Спасибо
