Thanks, Tzafrir
Let me answer the question from your other message, before I
forget: I was able to see the Hebrew sentence, both on linux and
in ms-windows. 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.
Cheers, Avraham
