I get the title right, however something like a non-standard mail
clients does it, I get the =windows-1255 string you gave as the subject.
Do note: The standard name is ISO-8859-8-I. NOT windows-1255, which is a
nice micro$oft invention, but not something standard, which is why not
each and every mail client will support it.
I believe I did it "The Right Way" (TM) in my site by adding the
following header to the mail() function:
Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-8-I"
You might want to try that... it works for me everywhere (including in
completely English mail clients under Linux)

Never forget that:
1. "Sure UNIX is user-friendly! It's just picky about who its friends
are!"
2. "The day that Microsoft make a product that doesn't suck,
is the day they start making vacuum cleaners.."
3. "Windows is a 32bit port for a 16bit GUI for an 8bit OS made for a
4bit CPU by a 2bit company that can't stand 1bit of competition!"
