I am new to typing up emails in Arabic and I had this question. Is
there
any special headers that would be recognized by email clients to
inform
them that this email should be read from right to left.

Moreover would it be possible to setup a multipart email with a part
in
arabic and a part in english.

What would be really helpful is someones advice or help in setting up
mutt to work nicely for sending and reciveiving arabic email.

I have mutt setup with Gmail and I have seen that my browser (firefox
off course) is smart enough to read the arabic as arabic and the
english
as english in a standard 8-bit utf-8 email. However, mutt does not and

ISSUE 2:
similary was not able to use vim while reading both the arabic and the
english text at the same time.

I guess you guys would have a vim keybinging for switching arabic on
and
off, is this the only usuable way for vim.

Jazakum Allah Kheir,
