Writing RTL in Supernova

Hi, Up until Supernova I used the BiDi Mail UI extension in order to write right to left text (hebrew) in a Thunderbird. BiDi Mail UI is not compatible with the new release and I am searching for a new way to correctly write rtl messages. Can you suggest a new way? I Thunderbird going to finally develop this feature natively as almost all text editors today do this without any issue. Thank you Very much!

Hi there! It's great to see your dedication to using Thunderbird for right-to-left (RTL) text writing. Unfortunately, the BiDi Mail UI extension is no longer compatible, but there's a workaround you can try. You can use an external text editor that supports RTL writing, then copy and paste the text into Thunderbird. As for Thunderbird natively supporting this feature, it's not available yet, but developers are always working on improving the software. Keep an eye on Thunderbird's updates for potential future enhancements.

Hi rellieberman

You should be able to do Right to Left without the Bidi add-on if your Operating system locale is set to a RTL locale.

Cheers! ...Roland
