Composing html messages is unlikely to be supported by Balsa in the near  
future.  We'd be glad to make Balsa more rtl-friendly if we can do it in  
other ways.  For myself, as a 100% ltr person, I'm still trying to grasp  
the issues.  For instance,

- if you receive a message with rtl text, or a mixture, does Balsa display  
it correctly?

- if you use the current message composer and enter text in a rtl language  
(and presumably in a rtl locale), or a mixture, what goes wrong?

Another poster  
<URL:http://mail.gnome.org/archives/balsa-list/2008-April/msg00018.html>  
suggested that allowing the user to invoke a different text editor like  
Katoob would be helpful.  That would be a relatively minor addition, which  
we could put in place quite soon, if we have a consensus that it would  
help.

Thanks for any insights!

Peter
