No it's not your system..:-) it's just the case of different code pages.
Same extended ASCII codes used for specialized characters of many other
languages at the same time. I mean what you see on the monitor when you
type a special character, say ASCII 135 for example, is completely
depends on which code page is the default one (at your news/mail reader,
at your operating system, or at your keyboards driver, assuming that you
are a MS windows user) when you are looking at the document that
contains this character. If the hebrew support already installed to your
computer, as you mentioned, you can that "mails garbled with special
characters, but supposed to be hebrew" are actually typed in hebrew just
by switching default encoding in your mail reader (i.e. View/Character
set in Netscape -I can't see Hebrew option here..:-( and
View/Encoding/More in MSIE 5.0 -yes I can see Hebrew here..:-)
