Is there a way to enable support for Cyrillic in MysticBBS?

I don't mean the font, in some places (like the node chat, Cyrillic is
working fine, but in others (like e-mails, as shown in the screenshot)
it isn't.

Can you post a screenshot where it's working but also make sure
there's some English text in there as well? I'm wondering if it's the
font being used that's lacking the characters

So uhh, sorry for ignoring.
Now it's not working at all. But, because the number of characters I
enter and the number of characters that appear is different, i think
that the character set used in Mystic simply does not include Cyrillic
symbols.

So, i figured out, that Cyrillic input is working when CP437 codepage
is selected, but isn't if you select UTF-8

And i think this is strange, because UTF-8 (as i remember) contains
Cyrillic symbols
