Hi Eyal, I suggest you join the bidi list at:
http://freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/bidi and raise the discussion there. People there have lots of experiene with these stuff, and are starting to write down an specification or cross-platform bidi handling. This is very a good opporunity to jump in. behdad On Sun, 8 Aug 2004, Eyal Rozenberg wrote: > Hello, > > (as was suggested to me when I brought it up in the public IRC session a > while ago, I'm posting my notice to this list). > > We (myself and another developer called Asaf Romano) are working on an > directionality control extension for Mozilla MailNews and for > Thunderbird, tentatively named bidimailpack.
