To get a faked support for reading messages in koi8-u, use the
following:

(define-coding-system-alias 'koi8-u 'koi8-r)

Real support for koi8-u could/should be added (but currently, it is
not achievable fully, as Emacs' internal encoding does not support the
letter ghe with upturn used in koi8-u).

If you will also need to read messages in windows-1251, add the
following lines:

(codepage-setup 1251)
(define-coding-system-alias 'windows-1251 'cp1251)

Similarly simple is to add support for cp866, etc. :)
