Re: [Evolution] right to left languages

I may be naive but it seems you stopped just an inch
from making us RTL readers real happy -
"just" add a button/option that inverts word order in
all document lines (no promises made)...

A second invert can just reload the e-mail; forget
about selecting blocks or answering in RTL.
Just seeing it displayed properly would be grand!

I guess it ain't that simple...

PS another way would be not to invert anything,
use mirror-reflected fonts, and advise us to hold our
own mirror against the screen :)
Just don't send us off to m$ to read it!
