People on this list say that Mozilla Thunderbird, Evolution and Konqueror
show charset=ISO-8859-8 as Logical. The first 2 mentioned mailers even
send ISO-8859-8 as Logical (I can't test this claim). I may see that my
Konqueror version is a bit buggy regarding text selection, but it clearly
applies bidi to a "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-8" page.
One person even suggests that Outlook shows such mail as Logical as well.

It may be irrelevant in one sense, but is very relevant for consistency.
