I see the question marks too, no matter what
  encoding I used, even the Unicode Yitshak
  Sapir suggested which did work for some
  of the messages with Hebrew script (so thankful
  for that suggestion).
  Took up Karl's suggestion and read it
  in the B-Hebrew archives - no problems there.

  Karl and others,

I only see question marks where the hebrew letters are supposed to be.

In the message below everyone will see question marks.
Because Chris originally did not read the message using
Unicode, so when he replied, his reply substituted question
marks for characters he could not read.  However, Karl's
message below was sent using unicode:

as can be seen from the "Content-Type" header above.  I just made
a test with my Yahoo account.  Yahoo Accounts now has a "Beta"
mode where the Hebrew is correctly displayed.  In the original mode,
you have to select an Encoding of "Unicode (UTF-8)" for it to work.
