Hello
GNU emacs 24 has BIDI support, for languages such as Hebrew and Arabic.
However when I write an email, and send it via say gnus, the mail text
received it is displayed correctly with one restriction: The text is
displayed in most mail agents, at the left margin instead of the right
margin (I cannot write this here, since it would not displayed
correctly)
Thunderbird offers BIDI email support via HTML. The relevant HTML
elements seem to be
<body style=3D"direction: rtl;"
So the question is could org-mime-htmlize support this element (on
demand as well for example via (defvar org-mime-htmlize-rtl t)??
Thanks
Uwe Brauer

The responsibility for determining if the paragraph is RTL or LTR
depends on the client rading the email, not the author. Since most
clients are not RTL aware (Thunderbird needs an addon to make it RTL
aware) the email author can use HTML which allows one to mark the
paragraphs or entire mail as RTL.
If HTML mail is not an option, you can precede the mail (or every
paragraph, again this is reading-client dependent) with the
non-printing RLE (Right-to-Left Embedding) character.
More info here, including RLE character and other characters that you
can copy and paste into your emails:
