Salam, After searching Bugzilla, I found this bug: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96057
I wonder why BiDi controls aren't added to Mozilla's composer. The extension would be a hack if it was for plaintext editing, however, it's for HTML emails, I think dir="rtl" is the correct way to fix the problem, or at least this is what I managed to figure out from the bug report, any ideas?
