It beggars belief that such a mature email client as TB does not cater for Right-to-Left texts, to languages/scripts used by so many countries who are actually keen on opensource technology.

AFAIK the current solution is the bidi-mail-ui add-on, but then it's near impossible to get the slightly old version to work! Come on.

Is there a roadmap for this? Can we log a request somewhere? Wishlist?

Cheers
