OK, I'll do some guesswork...
- On a RedHat-8.0, Abiword is installed without hebrew support files
(you can verify with rpm -ql abiword that many languages are there
but hebrew).
- Trying to reproduce the message, it appeared only the first time
I completed typing a word *after* setting Tools->Set Language to
Hebrew.
- So I turned off the Tools->Spelling->Auto Spellcheck and this
message did *not* show up.
- Seems like it (obviously) cannot find spellchecking data for hebrew
- Also, if you want hebrew fonts etc, I think you better compile and
install directly from sources (as RedHat doesn't ship any Hebrew
related files with abiword)
Now in return, I have an interesting question:
- When I used 'strace' to follow abiword access to files and directories
it *did not* access anything with 'he-IL' in its name....
- If I ran it with LANG=he_IL from the environment it did follow the normal
search path for locales (through glibc, locale-alias etc.)
- There was no difference regarding the error message you mention.
- So, what (probabely internal) mechanism abiword use to resolve
internal language definitions (from the menu). How this mechanism relate
to the glibc locale mechanism.
Researching this topic will not only help you solve your particular problem

Am I the intended recipient? My mind reading capacities

Hmmm... It was a long time since someone gave me orders, and
even then it wasn't Elbit Systems Ltd :-)
Let me rephrase the last paragraph for you (or rather your employer):
"This message was sent by someone from Elbit Systems Ltd.
If this was directed to the wrong person (which may percieve it as
unsolicited commercial mail -- also known as spam) we
appologize for this mistake and kindly ask you to remove it
from your computer. We will be very gratefull if you can
spare the time to notify this mistake to the sender.

Reading the netiquette(sp?) won't hurt either.
