The only issue is when mixing hebrew and english, so when it's important and more than one word, I just break it into a new line for the english (generally it's and equation or a link and such, so it's good to put it on a new line anyway). it does seem that the directionality is dependent on the encoding though. if the encoding is misinterpreted I will also get the directionality wrong (most mails I get are either cp1255 or unicode, as far as I know I am sending cp1255) > Thanks, > Hetz > > > First, kudos for using vim for mails.
