Clicking on the encoding in outlook I saw that you used UTF-8. I started reading about unicode, but I was not yet able to input utf-8 Hebrew in either vim or yudit. I think that the point I missed was installing an appropiate font. I would be grateful for some pointers, I might have overlooked some more points.
My attempts with ISO-8859-8 were prompted by the fact that I looked at a couple of messages on my wife's computer and they were all encoded in windows-Hebrew, which is not utf-8. "Could you send such a Hebrew message?" you mean pdf? For such simple messages as intended the simplest way I know is to write it with vim, transform it into a ps-file with enscript and then ps2pdf it. My (default) locale setting is POSIX. But I understand that there is no problem to start the editor with the stance: LC_ALL=he_IL.utf8 vi filename That is, at least what I did when I tried to use vim (by the way I have installed vim-full) /yudit.
