Hello, Aharon!

It will drive you nuts all the same, but you should insert an RLM (right 
to left Mark), not an RLE.

I can confirm this extremely annoying problem in KMAIL under Fedora.

The only way I know to get punctuation at the end of a line in Hebrew is 
to right click and choose insert unicode character and choose RLE start 
right to left embedding. This drives me nuts when I need to send a lot of 
Hebrew emails !
