[Avodah] Admin: Avodah Digest v26n256

Well, it appears I figured out how to get bilingual support in the
digest... it's by switching the entire list over to Hebrew mode! You
saw the most recent digest with the Hebrew header. I would also have
to switch over moderation software and the archiver (not done yet, so
I just switched back before v26n257 comes out) to pase Hebrew from the
corse server as well. It may take me a little while to get that issue
onto the web.

But in any case, if you think it's worth the effort, please let me know
at <micha at aishdas.org>. Personally, I think it is.

Further conversation, if you want to discuss the change among the
membership rather than just send me a vote, ought to be on Areivim.

And yes, I noticed that many email readers won't handle a line that starts
out in Hebrew but ends in English correctly. (There is an example at the
first line of the digest.) Compared to not doing Hebrew at all, I think
it's a livable problem. Since I can't edit the actual digest producing
software, nor force posters' email clients to send the right thing, it's
a "given".

Tir'u baTov!
