Re: RTL in plaintext mails
Hi, You can't use RTL in plain text mode because of a simple issue: what would tell the text to be in RTL? If's there's no HTML/CSS decleration about RTL, why should the mail be in RTL? I know that kmail for example is smart enough to detect that if a paragraph begins in hebrew text, then it should be automatically aligned to right (it was my idea to convince Lars from TrollTech to implement it, actually), but other mailers simply won't honour it. I'll take myself for example: I'm using gmail and I'm using another account with HTML enabled to send Hebrew mail. That way I can be assured that the receiver side will get my Hebrew mail right-justified, in RTL and fully readable (unlike the Hebrew hotmail which comes junk at some web based mails). So yes, you need to use HTML mode to send a full hebrew text which would display nicely on the other side. You could of course ignore this, but it's any body's guess how the other side will accept it. Thanks, Hetz First, kudos for using vim for mails. (Real men use 'ed' =) ) Maybe I was unclear: I wasn't talking about using Logical Hebrew - this I take for granted.. I was talking about 'align to the right' and putting the text in 'RTL mode', so that mixed Hebrew lines with few English words inside would be rendered correctly. I find it funny if it's just not possible in plaintext..

I use plain text for my E-mail in Hebrew (Mailer mutt, editor vi). My only real problems are with the choice of encoding (utf-8 or ISO) and, when writing to people who use windows, I have to remember that their mail clients automatically reverse direction. So that I have to use a terminal in which the Hebrew text appears reversed in my system. As there is a variety of mailers in windows, and they do not treat Hebrew exactly the same way, I receive from time to time complains about some problems. Actually, I am not sure that these problems are related to their mailer. The problem may be just the size of their window/vs the length of my lines. Keeping lines short is a safe bet.

I find it funny if it's just not possible in plaintext.. I like plaintext :) What you are referring to is text directionality. It's the parameter that guides the bilingual display algorithm. If the general text directionality is right-to-left, for example, the algorithm will place punctuation on the left side of a sentence and order parts in different directionalities properly from right to left. Anyway, it's possible to do so in plain text if you use unicode, and embed unicode directionality characters at the beginning (and possibly the end - depending on your choince of directionality characters) of the paragraph. However, though this method should work, some MUAs break long paragraphs into separate lines (which, from the unicode definition perspective, means that each line is a separate paragraph). That would cause only the first line in the paragraph will have proper directionality (it will be the only one that starts with a directionality character) and the rest will break. The bottom line is that it is virtually impossible to properly display Hebrew if you use plaintext in e-mail.

Re: RTL in plaintext mails
Hi, You can actually use RTL in UTF-8, just place RLE (U+202B) in the start of each Hebrew sentence and PDF (U+202C) at the end (PDF is not a most, since each end of sentence gets it automatically, but I see it as a good practice). Keep in mind that some plain text users might scream at this point since they can see that character. Also note that RLE/LRE..PDF has nothing to do with line alignment, so you will still send it unprofessional. I prefer to send email messages most of the time in HTML just because of that, and to include plain text fallback which includes the RLE/LRE..PDF there. Tomer.

Re: mail server and gmail SPAM
Yuval, I had checked on all the usual suspects of blacklists - spamhaus, RBL, etc. Those 2 machine's IP are not blacklisted. Regarding spam assassin - any test mail simply goes to spam, even a simple: echo Hello World | mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s This is an email test - goes directly to spam.

However, 2 other servers when they send mail, the mail goes directly to the SPAM folder in gmail. I can do the simple trick of clicking the message and clicking not spam, but the 2 servers do need to send registration mail to users, and if they'll get the mail in the spam it will cause tons of problems. I have checked the RDNS, sent mail not from root, SPF record is OK. (mail server is sendmail). Have I missed something? I checked all the servers and they have the same config. It's hard to tell how gmail filters its spam. I bet it's an Intellectual Property of theirs. However, you might get a clue if you run the problematic email through spamassassin (use 'spamc -R your_email') and see which spam tests are being hit. If you don't have a working spamassassin configuration, send the file to me, I'll do it for you. --yuval -- Skepticism is the lazy person's default position. my blog (hebrew): http://benhamo.org = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In Gmail: http://dotancohen.com/images/examples/tzafrir.png I always send UTF-8 plaintext through Thunderbird. In Thunderbird with the bidi extension, one can ALT-SHIFT-X to change text alignment. This is for display only, though, and does not affect the message sent.
