Hi all! How do I enable RTL editing to the GMail *plaintext* mode? I can see them in the HTML mode, but I like to write plaintext messages. Meanwhile in Firefox 3.0.x all the Hebrew text is aligned to the left, which is annoying. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish |

Thanks Tomer for letting me know. Following this gmail update, this script will no longer be updated. |

Google recently added RTL controls for all the languages. You can enable that buttons from the Settings screen. Therefore, this script is no longer necessary. |

I've posted a new simple script that works on Gmail's new UI here:

You can also use this website to write your message and then copy it to Gmail editor and it will be RTL:

@Hetz: Yes, this is related to the new gmail layout. Since the layout is not yet supported in Hebrew, it is hard to add these buttons. Once Hebrew gmail uses this new layout, I'll look into porting this script to support the new layout. Meanwhile, you can sign privman's petition |

I have problems with the buttons. It simply doesn't work. I don't see any new RTL buttons, no matter if I go to gmail by HTTP or HTTPS, whether I go to gmail.com manually or by using the gmail manager extension, it's simply not showing in rich text edit mode. Are these problem related to the new gmail infrastructure that they have done lately? Which parameters do I need to give in order to debug this issue? Thanks,

OK, I got the new UI, but it is not trivial to add support for it, as it is quite a change. In fact, when I switch to Hebrew, I don't get the new UI, so maybe Hebrew is not yet supported in the new UI. Since I don't have too much time for it right now, I'll give it a few days. Also, since I copied my code from Geva's extension, I might also wait and see if he responds to Noam's request to support the new UI. |

@taleinat: I will look into it as soon as I get the new UI in my Gmail account. |

Very nice, I've been a happy user for several months now. FYI, Gmail are now rolling out a new version of their web UI, and this doesn't work with the newer version. I'd love to see this script working with the new UI. |

You're welcome. It was my intention that it will work under IE as well, as my wife still work with IE, and the main idea of the script was to help her, as I rarely use Gmail directly (I use it with POP3 through Outlook)... |

Thanks Itai and Noam for your comments. I updated the script to include http://mail.google.com/* and https://mail.google.com/*. I hope this covers all options and don't introduce any other problems. |

This is really useful for me! Thanks for an excellent piece of work! I addition to the previous commenter, I would also add the following to the list of sites:
https://mail.google.com/a/* http://mail.google.com/a/* Thins would make it work for the "Google Apps" version of Gmail. Thanks again! |

It's great, thanks! A suggestion: Add also https://mail.google.com/* to the list of sites. |
