Thunderbird is built on top of the Gecko browser engine. Gecko uses a
library called ICU which serves a somewhat similar role to Fribidi.

However, from what I know of Thunderbird, it is basically written on top
of Gecko, and thus works with HTML, CSS and such. It should already
provide good bidirectionality support (and if not: it's a bug that
should be fixed).

That's true, but assumes HTML emails. For plaintext emails (such as when
using PGP) this requires a separate solution.

The recommended Bidi UI add-on seems to do the trick, though!
