Hi, You can't use RTL in plain text mode because of a simple issue: what would tell the text to be in RTL? If's there's no HTML/CSS decleration about RTL, why should the mail be in RTL? I know that kmail for example is smart enough to detect that if a paragraph begins in hebrew text, then it should be automatically aligned to right (it was my idea to convince Lars from TrollTech to implement it, actually), but other mailers simply won't honour it.
I'll take myself for example: I'm using gmail and I'm using another account with HTML enabled to send Hebrew mail. That way I can be assured that the receiver side will get my Hebrew mail right-justified, in RTL and fully readable (unlike the Hebrew hotmail which comes junk at some web based mails). So yes, you need to use HTML mode to send a full hebrew text which would display nicely on the other side. You could of course ignore this, but it's any body's guess how the other side will accept it. Thanks, Hetz > First, kudos for using vim for mails.
