Hello,

cl-irc-devel rejects my email, so I am posting my question here.
I am trying to connect to a koi8-r based IRC-server, but I can't make
my client read koi8-r.
I tried to set some global variables before connection, but that
doesn't work:

IRC> *default-incoming-external-formats*
((:UTF-8 :EOL-STYLE :CRLF) (:LATIN1 :EOL-STYLE :CRLF))
IRC> (setq *default-incoming-external-formats* '((:koi8-r :eol-style
:crlf) (:koi8-r :eol-sty\
le :crlf)))

I also set outgoing format:

IRC> *default-outgoing-external-format*
(:UTF-8)
IRC> (setq *default-outgoing-external-format* '(:koi8-r))
(:KOI8-R)

But, despite doing these assignments, I get '????' instead of cyrillic
characters.

P.S. Its a SBCL 1.0.3 on Linux.

Thanks,
Mikhail.
