Comment(by sedaha):

 I have made plugin for correction of "broken WINDOWS-1251 to UTF8 QIP 2005
 encoding". It's name is "QIP Decoder" and you can find in in "Third Party
 Plugins" and see the source for details. The Russian QIP authors didn't
 make neither fully-working WINDOWS-1251 encoding. I think the "QIP
 problem" can be solved only for local scope (one selectable common
 encoding, like WINDOWS-1250) - this is, what I am doing in the plugin
 (with auto detection).
