Hello,

I receive about 40% of my mails in RTL (Right to Left) language (as
Hebrew and Arabic).=C2=A0
When I read them, Evolution display correctly (from right to left), and
when I want to reply the cursor is automatically positioned on the
right, assuming I'll reply in the same language.
But if I can read those languages, I don't write them... and I always
reply in "Latin" language (English, French or Spanish). So I need the
cursor on the left.

There is apparently no way to change this. Even if I change the
alignment button, it stays on the right. (CENTER will work. But LEFT
will do nothing).=C2=A0

In Thunderbird there is a plugin (or add-on) called BiDi (Bi-
Directionnal) which do the trick, but I could not find an equivalent in
Evolution.

I made some tests : if someone write to me in Hebrew, for example, from
Thunderbird, with the BiDi plugin set to "default option: RTL", then
Evolution appears to be "stuck" on RTL when reading
=C2=A0and replying to this specific message.
But if the Bidi plugin is set as "default option: LTR", then I can read
the Hebrew normally (RTL) but when I reply I am in a LTR way....

Not sure if it can help. Anyway, the question is : Is there a way to
change dinamically the RTL / LTR behaviour, with a button or a keyboard
shortcut, as in Thunderbird with BiDi plugin ?

Apart of this ... Evolution is great (and much more responding than
Thunderbird)
