[Kde-pim] Right-To-Left (RTL) Support in KMail's Composer

[Lior Chen]

Hi,

I have a question regarding RTL support of KMail's composer in HTML mode 
(KMail v1.11.2, KDE v4.2.2).

Currently, when writing an email in Hebrew, I can only right-justify the text 
using the 'Align Right' button (which is equivalent to HTML's <P 
align="right">). This does not allow true RTL mode (the equivalent to HTML's 
<p DIR="RTL">). The lack of this option causes all the punctuation marks to be 
wrongly displayed in the beginning of the sentence instead of its end (see 
attached screen-shot for example).

I'm interested in adding two new buttons to the HTML toolbar, one that would 
insert '<p DIR="RTL">' and the other that would insert '<p DIR="LTR">' to the 
generated email. This will allow the user to switch between LTR and RTL 
languages.

Is it the right way to solve this bug? This solution is so simple that I have 
a feeling I'm missing something here...

Thanks,
	Lior.
