I think the problem is not with the clients which can or not read hebrew, but rather the major problem of no standart way to call things. You can't write in pure hebrew and what people usually have problem with is the technical stuff anyhow.
add to that the fact that almost all console mail clients doesn't support hebrew too well (even hpine is a hack) and the fact that you would waste hours/years explaining people what standart hebrew is. I don't think it worse it..
