This is exactly where we disagree, and very deeply it seems. You continue to repear this (false) statement that mixing Hebrew and non-Hebrew is only possible in HTML. Unicode has all means to have proper RTL and LTR. Moreover, even without special direction-mark characters it is always possible to define the intended way for the mixed text display (several sane scenarious, all right alighned, auto-alighment etc.). There is nothing wrong with plain text. I can't accept the argument that chatting in Hebrew requires HTML, especially on a technical list. This is just not true. What next, will you require me to use a graphical browser to read mails? To only be able to read html with the supplied css? I.e. to read tiny purple letters on orange background with Naomi font?..
