Post RIght to left text direction in WebMail

Hello

I am reviving this aging thread

We are evaluating Zimbra 5.0.11 Netwrok Edition.

So far, Zimbra seems to deliver everything we require.

However, there's one important feature we're missing: being able to switch text direction to right-to-left in WebMail.

Zimbra supports the correct character code for Hebrew (UTF-8), but it does not offer the option to switch text direction in Webmail.

When I use Apple Mail with IMAP4 and Zimbra, I can switch the text direction when composing a new message because Mail supports this feature.
To view this feature in Mail, create a new message and then go to Format > Alignment > Writing Direction > Right to Left. You can also right click an empty area in the new message and go to Writing Direction > Right to Left.

When viewing right-to-left Hebrew messages in Webmail, the text direction is displayed correctly (Zimbra preserves the correct direction), but when composing a new message in Webmail, there's no option to switch text direction.

This is a very important feature for us, as this will give us 100% functionality for remote users.

Is there any chance it's going to be added in the next Zimbra update?

Thanks very much.
