Unless you send HTML mail, the font you write with will not matter. The 
information about the font is never sent along with the mail. Even if 
you do send HTML mail, people who don't have the font will see it 
differently.

The setting you should be looking for is the encoding your mail is sent 
in (for sending correctly) and the encoding it is read in by default 
(for reading it correctly, although standards-compliant mailers will 
read the information from the mail header, so you shouldn't have to do 
anything if you're sending correctly.) You are currently sending mail in 
the "us-ascii" character set, which is why Hebrew characters display as ?.

You should change the setting to "UTF-8." How to set it depends on your 
mail client.

If you need to test, you can try sending mail to yourself instead of to 
the whole list. When you get it working on your own, the list might be 
able to tell you if they can see it correctly.

Hope this helps,
