The problem with those receipients is not with software's features but
with its user-friendliness.
In other words: they have to manually switch from UTF-8 to iso-8859-8/8-i
(or Windows 1255) rather than have the software automatically do this for
them. AND they do not remember the menu command for doing this. The
software in question is also closed source, so I don't have the option of
having it modified for their convenience.
