By loading evolution's set of plugins (in Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install evolution-plugins*), it's possible to use an external editor (menus Edit/Plugins) , which can be chosen by clicking the external plugin's configuration button.
Gedit, leafpad and other editors automatically change the text direction to RTL for RTL languages. You open the compose window and begin to type, and this opens the external editor, then you save the file, then close the editor. The text appears in the compose window aligned to the left side (i.e. the wrong side). A message so composed will be received in gmail with the text on the right, as it should be. In other systems, for example fastmail's web client, it appears aligned to the left (wrong side). Someone created an RTL toolbar, which can be found on Github at https://github.com/mehdisadeghi/evolution-composer-rtl. However the installation did not work for me. I opened an "issue" there. It's 2018 and, by now, an important application like Evolution ought to work flawlessly in RTL languages, though it's true that only about two or three billion people are using them. -- Sent from: http://gnome-evolution-general.1774414.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
