hi
thank you for yout detailed answer
it seems (currently this is the only suggestion) that the "problem" is with
that certain outlook
all the ppl i know are using outlook with english interface, and they have no
problem
only that guy (and probabaly some of his recipients) are using outlook with
hebrew interface
meaning, its default charset for my emails is iso-logical (iso_8859_8 i think)
all other outlooks are using utf8 as default charset and all emails are readable
before, i had even more problems with outlook and decoding, someone here
suggested me to add this line (i also saw that outlook itself adds this line)
and everything worked fine (until that guy :) )
r u suggesting that synapse does not make the part header correctly?

Charset is correct: windows-1255.
Provide suggested change in boundary header, not in HTML part:
----=635C8EE9CBF2420992FF_928E_A48C_7F79
Content-Type: text/html; charset="windows-1255"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

ISO-8859-8 and Windows-1255 are compatible.

Notice that utf-8 is flexible encoding. I.e. it can use 1,2,3 and 4 bytes. If
you look in utf-8 encoding process and you will find that your text simly
coded in 7bit ($80-$FF), not in utf-8. However, as is 7bits, there is no
difference you decoding it with utf-8, windows-1255 or ISO-8859-8 - result is
the same, readable message. Refference: RFC 3629.
Problem here is that e-mail reader cannot determinate correct default charset.

Outlook (as any other client) always try to determinate default charset from
messgae header or boundary. No need for extra additional/manual settings -
if it find it and use these informations correctly.
Anyway, I tried that original message with Outlook 5 and there is no problem
at all. It show Hebrew signs and showa it from right to left. Probably
another Outlook version is a problem.
If message is composed following RFC exactly - will be no problem at all on
any e-client.
