Indeed. Are you using the latest version, 0.8.4? But the problem is almost certainly with your webmail program. Unfortunately many webmail programs are full of bugs, which is a good reason for using POP mail and a proper mail program - although webmail has big advantages for people who travel without computers.

When you wrote the two examples below, they both show Hebrew letters in my
browser, only the breakout version does not.


The problem then is with your webmail program.

Could there be a problem in the archive software, that it does not always
display Hebrew and Unicode? It does not display Hebrew when I look at the
archive.


Hebrew shows up correctly in the archives when it is correctly encoded in the original message, as you can confirm by viewing the archives with Camino. But it doesn't show Hebrew properly when that Hebrew is not properly encoded, as in your past postings. And in some of your recent postings you have the same problem with smart quotes - look in the archives at your own posting on Aramaic in Babylonia starting "To get the peripheral subject out of the way first". (And there is also a word wrap problem, which may also be something to do with your webmail program.)

Interestingly, Karl, you were able to send Hebrew correctly encoded this time, by using Hebrew (Windows-1255) encoding, which your webmail system probably chose because you were replying to my message in that same encoding.
