First, kudos for using vim for mails. (Real men use 'ed' =) ) Maybe I was unclear: I wasn't talking about using Logical Hebrew - this I take for granted.. I was talking about 'align to the right' and putting the text in 'RTL mode', so that mixed Hebrew lines with few English words inside would be rendered correctly. I find it funny if it's just not possible in plaintext.. I like plaintext :) - Oren ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
