Mailspring: Support RTL (Right-to-Left) text

[hmnd]

Currently, it is not possible to send emails in Hebrew or Arabic/Persian without the text ending up on the wrong side. I propose that an option be added to the dropdown menu, or to the text formatting popup that allows for the changing of text direction.

I second the request

Is it planned?

@bengotow see issue #124 in Nylas Mail for reference. Do you need further clarification?

[bengotow]

Hey folks—yes, this is planned and will probably ship in January. Stay tuned!

[bengotow]

Hey folks—thanks for reporting this! Version 1.1.0 shipped today which fixes this issue and includes an overhauled composer with support for RTL text, font colors, sizes and styles, improved markdown shortcuts and a lot of other small improvements. You can grab the latest version from https://getmailspring.com/download.

@bengotow I tried the latest version (1.1.0) but still the issue remains.

It only renders right-to-left properly when composing a new message:

but here's the same message in Sent folder:

and here's the received message in Gmail:

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.

same here, message reverts back to left-to-right after send.
