ISO-8859-8-I. But a software package should be able to recognize WINDOWS-1255 as
Hebrew as well for display purposes.

Subject lines are tricky. Basically, since the subject is part of the header, it
should *not* contain any non-ASCII characters. Therefore, the proper way for a
mail package to handle subjects is to encode them as base-64, with each span of
base-64 surrounded by question marks, equal signs, and the languague code.

Some software packages only translate non-ASCII chars, so there may be several
spans of base64 inside the subject line. Others encode the whole shebang, and
yet others encode it in parts - each word, for example.

My guess would be that your problem stems from this. Either the software skips
spaces by mistake when it does the encoding, or something like that.
