KMail is the obvious alternative, but there are other Qt based mailers, all are quite usable. > Personally, I think what kmail is doing is the worst possible.

This is not KMail's doing but the way Qt does text editing. the reason this was done was lack of experience with the way Windows does BiDi editing and too much reading of the infamous Unicode TR#9. > There are two problems with this, both pretty grave. > > A. There is no way to override this, in case I'm not happy. Qt 3.2 fixes this problem - you can change the inherent directionality of a text buffer (currently with CTRL-SHIFT a-la windows. don't know if this is configurable). everything that runs on top of Qt 3.2 will get this behavior. > B. Kmail keeps this information to itself. As it should. as long as you do text only messaging, the directionality of text is implicit (and for lack of better standards should be detected using the rules set in above mentioned document), and there is no way for KMail to pass that information along to the recipient. as KMail currently does only text messaging I don't consider this a problem. The recipient's MUA should detect that the text is hebrew and render it accordingly. I have never had problems sending hebrew email from KMail to other clients - if the client supports hebrew properly then it will display it from right to left. -- Oded ::..
