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.

Kheiro,
Yitzik
