Thunderbird mailer

[Tomer Cohen]

Hi,

I'm CCing the addon maintainer, maybe he have some good answers for you all.
In case Eyal is not subscribed to the list, his comments might be held for
moderation. (Eyal - You can read the full discussion here:
http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/pipermail/linux-il/2011-August/thread.html)

Anyway, next time you can contact the addon maintainer directly or follow
the conversation in Mozilla Israel Thunderbird forum (
http://mozilla.org.il/board/viewforum.php?f=2).

And if you want to see the RTL composition feature embedded to Thunderbird
in the future, please comment on the following two bugs and mention how
important is this feature to you:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464436
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119857

Thanks!
