Salam! I see the group is growing, and all the faces are quite familiar :-) I'd like to settle some details. It may be necessary quite often to use Arabic and Hebrew script in this list. Yesterday I tested AraWin encoding and for me it worked OK even while looking the mail through browser. Let's come to a consensus concerning the encodings we'll use, since it looks like the server does not mess the lower ASCII. My mail client permits to send and read messages in Arabic-Windows* and Arabic-ISO, and Hebrew-ISO-Logical*. My browser in addition to those permits ASMO-708, Arabic-DOS, Hebrew-ISO-Visual and Hebrew-Windows. [I show my preferences with asterisks]. I didn't try whether Yahoo supports Unicode. If yes, that would be much better. Any considerations? Were you able to read the test message? In any case, unless we use Unicode, it would be better to specify in the first line of the message, what encoding you use in case your message contains characters from the lower ASCII (codes more than 128) to be able to set manually the browser.
