Mike,

Would you please let me know how to use "setfont" to use a Cyrillic font on
RedHat 7.3? 

After using "setfont" to use a Cyrillic font, I will be able to read both
the Russian and English email messages. Can I also write email reply with
both the Russian and English?

Thanks for your help.
Hong

Use "setfont" to use a Cyrillic font.  Cyrillic fonts contain 
standard ASCII for the lower 7 bits, so both English and russian 
will display correctly.

cd /lib/kbd/consolefonts
ls |less
(find the font you wish to try)
setfont <fontname>

There are various Cyrillic fonts there, however I can't recommend 
one specifically as I'm an English only speaker.  Play with the 
different fonts until you find one that works well.  In order wo 
type both English and Russian, you'll have to configure your 
keyboard for doing multiple languages.

Hope this helps,
