BiDi Mail UI 0.9.6

BiDi Mail UI provides directionality control features for Mozilla mail applications.

BiDi-aware mail client software should be capable of displaying mail messages using their intended direction. This functionality is especially important in the case of plain text messages, as those do not explicitly specify direction. Similar direction control is required when composing new messages.

The BiDi Mail UI extension provide access to the inherent Bi-Directional capabilities in Mozilla Mail clients (the Mail&News component in the Mozilla suite and the separate client Thunderbird) - both for display and composition.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Compatibility: Dropped official support for Mozilla Suite 1.x, Seamonkey 1.x and Thunderbird 1.x
· Compatibility: Resolved version 0.9.5 compatibility issues with Thunderbird 2.x
· Reduction of the processing time required by the extension (significant in long complex messages).
· Better detection of mis-decoding in certain situations.
· Now correcting charset mis-detection also for message subjects.
· Can now insert Unicode Left-to-Right Marks (LRM) and Right-to-Left Marks (RLMs) using keyboard shortcuts, rather than requiring a mouse right-click (which would often mess up the caret position). The shortcuts are Ctrl+Shift+R and Ctrl+Shift+L.
· When composing HTML messages, the composition window now always defaults to Paragraph Mode when you open it.
· When composing HTML messages, the vertical paragraph margins are now set globally using CSS.
· Working around Thunderbird's default behavior of sending HTML messages as plain text if they don't have any "special" formatting - that makes our HTML composition capabilities useless...
· Fixed a bug of busting the status bar in most themes with Thunderbird 5.x
· Minor improvement of charset misdecoding detection logic.
