So far I understand. It's the same with many other languages (like
Chinese).

I'm not sure I understand this. Do you mean if I receive a message
written in windows-1251, and I see a letter "A" (C0x in
windows-1251), then when I change the encoding ("View | Character
set") to KOI8-R, TB would translate C0x to E0x automatically and
still show "A" to me?
It doesn't work like that here (nor should it). If I change the
codepage for a received message, I want TB to ingore the original
charaset setting in the header and show me the message in the new
codepage I desire. That's how TB would behave here.

I don't understand this, either. I've just tried again. I went to
your diary page, used the "Send Page by email" command in IE, and
changed the message encoding in TB's editing window to "Cyrillic
(windows-1251)". I then did it again, but this time I changed it to
"Cyrillic (KOI8-R)". Both showed the same text to me, and their
appeared to be the same as what I saw in IE. I then sent both of
them to myself, and they still looked the same to me, but view the
source of both in an editor would show that they're indeed in
different encoding. (The first character of the first paragraph in
your diary appears to be "B", but it's "C2x" in one message yet
"F7x" in the other.

Yes, I can see those JavaScript text as well. I think it's a bug
though I've no idea who should take it out (IE or TB), since I've
never used MAPI before. Is it that in MAPI a browser just dump the
source code on the email client and it's up to the latter to filter
out the scripts and html codes?
Nonetheless, I can see all the text, not just part of it, and I can
type, too.
If you like, I can send the two test messages (your diary page, one
in windows-1251, the other in KOI8-R) to you and you can see if
they're displayed properly.
