Though we try to stick with English for NavList messages, in case anyone is interested, here's the text of Jackson McDonald's earlier message rendered in 'UTF-8' which was previously in an older character set (you should see Cyrillic here):
Фрэнк
Xорошо получил ваше сообщение. Я говорил по-русский довольно свободно 20 лет назад, но теперь мне не хватает практики.
Трудно решить, что более сложно - русский язык или астрономическая навигация.
С Новым Годом!
Джексон
Rather than providing my own free translation, here is the "Google Translate" version:
"Frank
Well received your message. I spoke in Russian rather freely 20 years ago, but now I do not have enough practice.
It is difficult to decide which is more difficult - Russian or astronomical navigation.
Happy New Year!
Jackson"
