Will WLM and Outlook allow me to SEND Russian messages, using the
Cyrillic alphabet...

Both in the Subject Line and in the body of the message?

I can currently READ such messages but not SEND them.

How to do that, while not screwing up my English reading and sending
capabilities?

Outlook lets one define the language of a selection, like any Office
application can do. In Outlook 2007, Message, Spelling, Set Language... set
the language of a selection to whichever language you like. You can do this
in the Subject: line also. If you want proofing capabilities in that
language, download an appropriate Office Language Pack from the Office web
site. If you write a lot in Russian, you will want the Russian Language
Pack anyway. You can even change the menu language to Russian, if you like.
You probably want your readers to interpret your messages properly, so if
you send multi-language messages well then make sure they have a client that
can display them properly.

WLM is a little different, but experiment with the New Message, Format,
Encoding menu. Set the encoding to one of the Cyrillic values. I don't
know how it works, but since the menu item is there, it must do something...
Remember the beta nature of WLM.

Both in the Subject Line and in the body of the message?

I believe that if you set the encoding in WLM to a particular value, all
human readable headers are encoded in that character set, but there may be
bugs...

I have set the language of the Subject: line in Outlook, but because I don't
have a non-Latin alphabet input method or font installed, I can't test it
myself, to see if it actually formats the text as Russian text, for example.

Language is Outlook is per selection. Character encoding in WLM is per
message. Using either one to format and send a message in Russian
"shouldn't" interfere with your ability to read and write English.

Hope this helps.
