This may be of some interest. I received an attachment containig a Hebrew Word 
.doc file. Since I had to read it, I tried an experiment and it worked. 
Here's what I did. I first opened the file with OpenOffice. This is **not** 
the Hebrew version being developed, but straight out-of-the box Mandrake 9.0. 
The Hebrew fonts in the document were OK, but since there's no RTL support, 
everything was backward. I then cut-and-pasted into KMail's composer (again 
out-of-the box Mandrake 9.0). And the document was correctly detected as 
Hebrew - including the correct RTL direction.

BTW - I forwarded the new mail message to someone using Outlook on WindowsXP 
and the e-mail arrived with the Hebrew displayed correctly.

I know this is not an ideal solution for Hebrew, but in an emergency, it 
works. FWIW.
