Translation Problems with E-Mail in Hebrew Fonts
I have issues with Outlook Express. I want to send a message written in Hebrew and I have tried to do so. I can read the Hebrew before I send it, but it is received as just garbage characters, or the text is reversed. I am using Dagest Translator Pro to translate, but I can't get it to send in Hebrew the right way. I have tried sending it in unicode and "as is" but neigher is ever received correctly.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Re:Translation Problems with E-Mail in Hebrew Fonts
I don't have a direct solution but I can suggest a possible work-around.

Prepare the letter in Hebrew.

Print the screen to the buffer: Hit the Print Screen/SysRq key.
Open Microsoft Paint.

Paste. You may get a message that says the item to be pasted is larger than the screen or something like that. Just say yes.

Using the select icon, select the portion of the screen with the Hebrew letter. You may have to move the screen in Paint around a bit to get the letter centered on your computer screen.

Copy the selection: Ctrl-C

Paste it into a new Paint screen and save that to a file. You will now have a large bitmap (.bmp) file. You need to change it to a .jpg and for this you will need some software that will make the conversions. There is free stuff out on the web but you may already have something in your computer if you have a digital camera or photo manipulating software.

Convert the .bmp into a .jpg and make it under 30K if possible.

Send a letter to your friend and say that you have uploaded a gif file. Upload the file and send it out.

Your friend then can read your letter in Hebrew.
