I agree that this is the right approach in principle. 
Unfortunately, both Outlook/Explorer and Thunderbird/Mozilla 
already interpret MIME content types differently in mail and web.

I think the best solution is:

- Don't send/post Hebrew in visual order.
- Don't label anything with MIME content-type iso-8859-8.

If everybody adhered to these guidelines (regardless of how they 
display material and what they do internally on their systems), 
the problem would die out.
