Can't help you there.  I required my ring members to actually be able to 
read English, if for no other reason than I couldn't translate my signup 
instructions into multiple languages (the translatable content was for 
convenience of the end-users of the ring, not the members themselves; the 
members who had pages in other languages [and with a topic like Tolkien, 
those are many] generally wanted translated content, so I asked them to 
contribute translated versions of the code).  So I've never tackled the 
issue of actually sending an email in Russian. :)  (I almost typed "a 
Russian email", but I've sent several emails to Russians. ;) )
