Oh, and I'd say Unicode basically doesn't matter, only visual
appearance in common email clients.  The following text:
{
‮‭I do X.‬ ‭I do Y.‬‬
}
uses the Unicode control characters LRO, RLO, and PDF; a pseudo-HTML
equivalent would be:
{
<rtl><ltr>I do X.</ltr> <ltr>I do Y.</ltr></rtl>
}
In other words, two LTR blocks within a RTL block.  Semantically, it's
quite clear that "I do X." comes first, but visually the text should
look identical to
{
I do Y. I do X.
}

FWIW, in my setup (alpine via tmux (optional, same without) and putty), i see X first.
