ok, i blame the mailing list to kill html parts of multipart messsages 
(thanks, btw.) - the exactly same message entered my google account as 
multipart.

if anyone can force html mails here (s)he could test this.

however: as QTextEdit (4.5.0) apparently supports bidi text and i can (in 
general) set the direction in html mails & they're displayed "correctly" (shot 
attached) the remaining problem is: ?

ok, read the initial thread mail: the problem here is the latin interpunct. - 
using e.g. U+05B4 ("hebrew point hiriq" - i have /no/ idea whether this is 
meant to serve as "period" - fixes that.
i did however not find an arabic equivalent (iff there's such... couldn't you 
just start typing in the proper direction... ;-)

:suoires ot kcab os
if you set the direction to right aligned (i assume this triggered the html 
mail at my gmail account) and use the "proper" rtl punctuation you should get 
what you want to see out of the box (no button)

i assume you use some xkbd magic to switch your keybord layout, therefore this 
magick could (should?) also "correct" the "period" key, yesno?
or does that lead to problems because the period is reuired as e.g. precision 
mark in numbers? i feel so confused :-(
