Dear Peter,

HH: I also have Safari. I do not have installed Unicode Hebrew fonts, 
though I do have installed Hebrew fonts. Also, Eudora, the email 
program I usually use, may be related to my inability to read 
incoming Hebrew emails. I found this note you wrote earlier:

But the real problems are for the few list members who are stuck with
working from old mainframe systems which only support ASCII text. Also
those who insist on using dinosaur mail clients like Eudora which
continue to make no attempt to support Unicode.

HH: Since I do use Eudora, perhaps that is the problem.

                                Yours,
                                Harold Holmyard
