Just use bidiv (in a good-old-iso8859-8 xterm, e.g. "xterm -fn heb8x13").
It will convert the unicode to iso8859-8 for you, and do all the reversing
and alignment you need.
(bidiv is available from ftp.ivrix.org.il, and uses the Fribidi library to
do the actual tough work).
In my .muttrc I have
set pager="bidi_pager"
where bidi_pager is
#!/bin/sh
exec bidiv "$@" | less -c
And I see Hebrew emails (including that one) beautifully :)
P.S. When I finally release the next version of bidiv, it will also check
the LC_CTYPE and generate utf8 (rather than iso8859-8) for utf8 terminals.
