It likely isn't your browser that turns Hebrew into question marks,
but the software that collects the individual posts into a digest.
AFAIU, those who are on burst mode do see the Hebrew.

RMB?

[That is correct. There is also a digest mode where you can get each
email as an attachment to the digest, and those emails would also be able
to handle multiple different character encodings in one digest --
solving our Hebrew problem. But if too much of a post is Hebrew,
I reject the post rather than spam the majority of readers.

[There is a version of mailman with internationalization
support that supports right-to-left languages including Hebrew in
particular. But DreamHost won't install it. We once got badly burnt on
my attempt to run my own email server, so I'm not trying again.    -micha]
