Mellel seems to get the punctuation right.  Probably helpful that it is 
written by Israelis.
Mail.app gets it right also... you can flip keyboards and if you enter 
a period and then enter another character, the period gets thrown to 
the left end of the string.

It depends on how the app implements text services, and I'm not 
thinking most implement it in a useful way.  Mellel's engine is, if I 
recall right from support responses, not using Apple's, but I would 
guess that Apple Mail is.  I really don't know, but it is frustrating.
