") To the htmlized message. A new variable is introduced, namely: org-mime-bidi-support which is per default set to nil. I turn it on when switching to a BIDI language, as in the following function. (defun my-turn-bidi-on () "Just start with to R2L and turn the hebrew (qwerty) keyboard on" (interactive) (setq bidi-paragraph-direction 'right-to-left) (set-face-font 'default "-etl-*-*-*-*-*-*-240-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-8") (setq org-mime-bidi-support t) (set-input-method "hebrew-phonetic-qwerty" t) (message "R2L on and the hebrew qwerty keyboard!")) On off when switching back. Regards Uwe Brauer
