Thank you for your answer!

I do not need to compose mail in windows-1251.  My terminal shows
characters in koi8-r (set-terminal-coding-system 'koi8-r).

After applying the following patch mew started displaying letters in
windows-1251, but since me terminal tuned for koi8-r, I can't read
those characters.  I need to teach mew to convert from windows-1251 to
koi8-r when it encounters windows-1251 encoding in mail header.

How is it possible?

Thank you in advance!
