All of KDE, including Kopete is set up according to your ~/.login_conf file. In it, you have to set your language and the encoding to whatever you desire, like cp1251. If you wish M$ users to see what you type - your ~/.login_conf file should look something like:
me:My Account:\
:charset=KOI8-R:\
:lang=ru_RU.cp1251:
Try that.

Then Kopete is not for you. Try some other ICQ client. There's a dozen of them in ports.

Here is my ~/.login_conf (I use Mandrake Linux 10.0 Official (KDE 3.2.0)

Quoted

me:My Account:\
:charset=KOI8-R:\
:lang=ru_RU.cp1251:

It is not working. What is "My Account"?

@DJ-Achtung: Are you, by any chance, using FreeBSD?
On Linux, I've not heard of that config file yet and google is full of FreeBSD hits for ".login_conf". I may be wrong though...

So unless by chance jdevelop is also running FreeBSD (dion is running Mandrake) your solution probably doesn't apply. Unfortunately I don't have one for Linux either. This may even be distro-specific.

Any takers?
