Bug 128489

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

It would be desired that Kopete would support the RTL flag in the message's X-MMS-IM-Format. This would greatly enhance support for Right-to-Left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic.

I will implement the support for this feature; however, I'd like some feedback first about the right way to do it. There are basically two ways: Either I add a new property to the Kopete::Message, or I'll embed the Right-to-Left controls within the message as rich-text commands.

The benefit of the later is that, once we'll implement Right-to-Left support in OSCAR (currently partial support exists but it's commented out), we'll need to support in-message controls anyway, as a single OSCAR message might have more than one paragraph, one being Right-to-left and another being Left-to-right.

I'll start implementing this feature as soon as I'll have a "mentor" of some sort. It should be noted I was previously responsible for implementing RTL support in the SIM client, whose rtf.ll file you've leveraged into Kopete.
