Tomer, this isn't what the script is supposed to do. What it does is to re-align messages you RECIEVE, not messages you write. In case someones writes a message mixed with hebrew and english, it aligns the message to the right so you can read it without moving your eyes back and forth.

However, the script stopped working in the new GMail version. I promise to look into it and try my best to upload a new version that will do the job.

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.

This is really useful for me! Thanks very much!

I would add the following to the list of sites: 

https://mail.google.com/a/*
http://mail.google.com/a/*

This would make it work for the "Google Apps" version of Gmail.

Thanks!

Dawudd (and all others): I created a Gmail RTL user script. Enjoy.

It would be much better if someone were able to convert the small ‘Gmail RTL’ extension into a script. Alas, I have been unable to do so, so far.

Very good, with one problem.
If you choose Hebrew as your preferred language, you get your English mails aligned to the right.
This script could easily be extended to support this.
Just add the following lines just after line 81:

else{
node.style.direction = 'LTR';
var existingDirectionChanger = node.previousSibling;
if (existingDirectionChanger) {
existingDirectionChanger.parentNode.removeChild(existingDirectionChanger);
}
addDirectionChanger(node, false);
}

The script is broken. Some emails don't align automatically nor manually. In others only the attachments are aligned. I'd fix it, if I knew how.

Lior Z., it's not obsolete yet - you can still recieve messages in hebrew that have a Left-To-Right directionality, whereas this script will change this directionality to the opposite... I doubt google will implement this any time soon... I'll be shocked if they do :)

Hi, just took a look at your script. It seems like a great achievement -- very nice code. Thanks. The code is well documented too. But, recently Gmail added its own support for Hebrew; doesn't it make the script obsolete?
