Dora, you should be careful with what Dave wrote because it contains misleading statements and factual errors.--

This is an error of fact. It is quite possible to send Hebrew in plain text-only e-mail, as follows: *‘Ö¼Ö°*¨Öµ*?*©*?Ö´*™*ª - if you set the character coding to Unicode or ISO 8859-8. If a mail program cannot display this, it is not because it is text-only but because it does not support Hebrew. (Dora, this is what you failed to do in your posting which was supposed to be Unicode; Outlook Express does allow you to do so.)
