Hi,

does TB! allow to create messages in Unicode, including languages with a right-to-left textflow, like Arabic or Hebrew?
I know, it didn't in the past and I can't find that functionality now. But the changelog says 'Unicode support', so I want to check with insiders like you

And if TB! doesn't yet support this functionality, are there plans to implement it? Not kidding, I know of dozens of people that would love to get clean of Outlook or Thunderbird, but keep sticking to them, because they are more or less the only email-clients around, fully supporting Arabic and Hebrew.

Cheers,

Sine Culpa

Well, what Notepad does since ever, TB! can't do even after so many years? Keep that 1 billion potential customers in mind, depending on an eMail client capable of dealing with Arabic or Hebrew. Cheers,

I don't get any proper answer here, there is no reaction from the developer, and such a simple and basic feature, relevant for about 1/6 of world's population remains just untreated. Cheers,

Keep in mind that those are different items. __________________________________ I'm just a user of The Bat! I don't work for Ritlabs.
