Right to Left languages support in Thunderbird

[YBLR]

Hello to Mozilla Community,

Current stable version (102.12.0) and NEW beta version (115.0b4) of Thunderbird, doesn't support Right to Left typing and alignment for Right to Left (RTL) languages. older versions had private extensions which mostly supported it.

Emails, words and characters written in RTL context are getting mixed up.

please consider to add this feature to Thunderbird.

Thanks

Thunderbird 143.0 and up is no longer supporting BiDi Mail UI  https://github.com/eyalroz/bidimailui/issues/150 do we need an intrinsic support from Thuderbird !

As @MickeyCohen mentioned the only solution that was BiDi Mail UI is not compatible with the latest version anymore. Is there any new solution?

There are hundreds of millions of people who use a right-to-left language, such as all Arabic and Persian speakers as well as Hebrew speakers. It is so unfortunate that Thunderbird has be come the most unreliable email solution with regard to RTL support. Until and including Thunderbird release 142 the BiDi Mail UI extension provided support for right-to-left languages. Now it's again broken.

Other office packages such as LibreOffice can handle RTL languages without a glitch. With Thunderbird RTL has been repeatedly broken.

If the Thunderbird team is unable or unwilling to address the RTL issue, perhaps it will at least test it's releases against the current plugin solution?

Of course I agree with MikeyCohen that the best solution to the problem is built-in support in Thunderbird. This would require the developers to add RTL to the test scenario.
