Borenstein <nsb@thumper.bellcore.com> 7 Subject: An English/Hebrew test 8 To: shoshi, mlittman, yacov, kraut, nsb, paul@flash, mo@gizmo, dana, 9 bianchi@flash, abel, sincos 10 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-8 11 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 12 13 I am sending this message to a few people who have established 14 themselves, in the past, as relatively friendly consumers of 15 experimental multimedia mail. What I'd like to ascertain is how 16 well this latest type of installed mail works in a variety of 17 mail reading environments. 18 19 I expect that, in any event, you will have no trouble reading 20 the English part of this message. The more interesting question 21 is how things like the next line will look to you: 22 23 !=ED=E5=EC=F9 24 25 If you're running X11 and things are working right, that should 26 have been the Hebrew word "Shalom". Please let me know if 27 that's not what it looked like to you. (Non-hebrew readers, please 28 give me your best guess as to whether or not what you saw 29 was Hebrew characters!) 30 31 Just for completeness, here's the Hebrew alphabet: 32 33 =E0=E1=E2=E3=E4=E5=E6=E7=E8=E9=EA=EB=EC=ED=EE=EF=F0=F1=F2=F3=F4=F5=F6=F7=F8= 34 =F9 35 36 Unfortunately, composing =E7=E9=F8=E1=F2 is still a serious nuisance, 37 with no good software support at all for the composer, but receipt is 38 always the first step in these things, which are best taken one step 39 at a time. !=E8=E0=EC, =E8=E0=EC 40
