It's quite simple to handle Hebrew on modern versions of MS Windows & 
Office... 
I haven't worked out how to get good support yet on RedHat Linux (there is 
support, but not good support).

Email programs, it just depends which program you use. I seem to do alright 
with 
Hebrew in Opera's email program M2.

One of the big issues in computing & Hebrew is not writing the Hebrew 
characters, not even the problem of placing the nikud on the Hebrew letters, 
but 
moreso of writing right-to-left rather than left-to-right.

In windows there is a nice shortcut that should work anywhere you can enter 
text. Press Right-Ctrl-Shift to write right-to-left and Left-Ctrl-Shift to 
write 
left-to-right. (ie. press left ctrl and left shift at the same time, etc.) 
This 
should put the punctuation in the correct order.
