Hi Amos,
There's a evangelism bug (which means - fixing the site rather than
adapting the program to it) open about Haaretz's server in Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308187
You can subscribe to it (add your name to Cc) to know when it'll be fixed.
Meanwhile, there isn't much you can do but to request a feature (again,
through Bugzilla) to allow overriding charset for specific RSS feeds.
I'm not sure this feature would be in high demand, but you can try.
For reference, you can specify that currently, the charset of XML files
(such as RSS files) is taken from the server and from the server-only,
according to this:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/content/xml/document/src/nsXMLDocument.cpp#605
Another option which _might_ work would be extending Effie Nadav's
Haaretz-fixing extension to work within Thunderbird:
http://www.effie.co.il/mozvuvu/home.html
Good luck!

Hi,
Thunderbird is my favourite RSS reader (allows easy tracking of articles read)
but it can't handle Ha'aretz "encoding cacophony" (as is well put by the
maker of the Firefox extension to fix this).
Does anyone know of any way, even manual, to make Thunderbird show the
Haaretz RSS feed properly? So far I failed to make it behave even when
trying to manually set the encoding through "View > Character Encoding > ..".
Thanks,
--Amos
