I agree, this is a job for the rendered, which is also why you shouldn't need your plain2html program -- the web browsers displaying your email in webmail apps should handle bi-di correctly as long as they understand UTF-8. Might the webmail backend be doing something wrong? How would I know if the Hebrew text in your signature is displaying correctly? The glyphs appear to be correct. Would inserting spaces between the characters change the order in which they appear? If so, my terminal (Terminator) is not handlint bi-di correctly :( Nico --
