As you managed to misquote everything I wrote, I will simply start from 
scratch:

Kmail is a text only MUA. it can read HTML mail but it can only send plain 
text. this is fine for me : I don't need to send HTML, but YMMV. so in the 
next paragraph I'm not talking about HTML at all, and anything HTML related 
is irrelevant, including Mozilla's insistance to send BiDi text as HTML.

text/plain messages cannot contain embeded directionality indication and there 
is currently no agreed standard on how to indicate directionality in RFC822 
text/plain messages. nobody is even trying - its considered completly 
redundant. But people do send BiDi text using text/plain messages - how shall 
we render them ? I say each MUA to its own. if your MUA doesn't render BiDi 
text the way you want, fix it or switch - I'm happy with mine.

Your previous message seems to imply that all email messages that contain 
hebrew must be sent using HTML, an opinion which I completly disagree with.

I know that at least Outlook Express, Outlook and several web mail software 
products render kmail generated hebrew email properly.
