It would be nice but Windows or Mac native Cyrillic codepages will
look gibberish to each other. (Of course there are tools to read
cp1251 on Mac or Unix, but we aim at Mr Common User). Normalization to
KOI8 is currently the only safe way to achive cross-platform
legibility (even MS mailers learned to understand koi8 nowadays).
 
PGP/MIME would be perfect for this. A MIME encoding of your message
would be signed rather than the message itself.
