As far as I see the correct HTTP encoding for Russian should be
windows-1251, and gettext function _() suppiles the windows-1251.
But, with mbstring (and probably iconv, too) PHP extension enabled, the
Horde turns HTTP encoding to UTF-8 (if the browser supplies header it is
able on UTF-8 which is true for every non-ancient one).
So, the user see the windows-1251 characters tre3ated as UTF-8 in a browser.
Since I do not need the multibyte encodings, my workaround for this is:
===
            if ($browser->hasFeature('utf') &&
                (Util::extensionExists('iconv') # ||
       #          Util::extensionExists('mbstring')
        )) {   
                $charset = 'UTF-8';
            }
===
in NLS.php. But I suspect it is not a real solution...
