Hello Michiel!

 I have the impression, that the majority that prefers Cyrrillic for their
 conversation, mainly use other encodings than UTF-8

 Those who are able to read UTF-8 encoded messages are free to do so in
 echo areas that promote that encoding.
 Publishing UTF-8 encoded messages in general areas like FIDONEWS, where
 UTF-8 readers are a minoriity, is even worse than mixing 8-bit encodings in
 one message.
