User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:79.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/79.0
Steps to reproduce:
It's time for add-ons like https://addons.thunderbird.net/addon/bidi-mail-ui/ and https://addons.thunderbird.net/addon/easyright2left/ and https://addons.thunderbird.net/addon/composertf/ to be an integral part of the official Thunderbird updates and not as add-ons. Writers from right to left also have the right to use Thunderbird and not be dependent on the kindness and desire of the add-ons developers. Without these add-ons, we right-to-left writers, could not use Thunderbird.

It seems like this would be a duplicate of bug 464436 or bug 119857

For now, I have duped it to bug 464436. Anyone with more insight feel free to change that.

- BiDi Mail UI 0.10.1b2 (65.0a1 - 73.0): adds functionality both for reading and composing mail and news messages.
- EasyRight2Left 1.0 (52.0 - 60.*): Change direction from Left to Right and Right to Left for Persian, Arabic, Hebrew etc. This Thunderbird extension is based on ComposeRTF [so incl. paragraph direction control]
- ComposeRTF (1.5 - 2.0.0.*): Compose messages Right-to-Left or Left-to-Right. Unlike other addons which change the direction of typing of the whole message, this addon allows you to control the direction of an individual paragraph.
