@Shahar I do not know what Windows MSN is using but Pidgin is open-source and is successful at sending this flag. I'm no developer but it seems to me this could be figured out from the pidgin/libpurple source code. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop

An alternative course of action would be to give Telepathy messages a flag similar to MSN's RL=1, which indicates "the main context's writing direction" (as described in ). Since I don't know how RTL languages work, I can't judge whether auto- det

Thanks a lot for confirming. I have reported this bug upstream to GNOME and it can be tracked at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630632. This should import bug comments, but its a new feature so it's best to follow at the bugzilla site in case anything is needed. ** Bug watch added: G

This bug sound like an upstream bug and I'll take a "wild" guess and say the fix is probably the same one I did in Pidgin a few years ago: http://shlomil.blogspot.com/2007/02/patch-to-fix-some-bidi-text-issues-in.html RL=1 should be passed for RTL messages in MSN protocol. Wireshark can be used t
