Email in Cyrillic fonts

[Dion E Viglione <dionv_(_at_)_spots_(_dot_)_ab_(_dot_)_ca>]

A person from Russia is bent on using Microsoft Word.
I plan to introduce her to OpenBSD and to OpenBSD
users.
She sent me a letter in her language, using MS
Word's cyrillic fonts.  Is there a way to see her MS Word
documents?  All I see is strange code.
And how do I send her a cyrillic-font-filled letter?
I am using Afterstep and Netscape.
