You can find BiDi Mail UI add-on inside the Add-Ons section of Mozilla Thunderbird. Just install it and start using it (you might need to close and re-open Mozilla Thunderbird). simple as that.
Now, every time you will open new massage, you’ll be able to click the direction button and write in the direction you need.
Note: If you updated or upgraded Mozilla Thunderbird to its latest version, you might see that the writing direction buttons of BiDi Mail UI add-on are gone.
To get these buttons back, all you need is to go to the Add-Ons window inside Thunderbird and update the BiDi Mail UI add-on by clicking the button in its row. After updating the add-on, close Mozilla Thunderbird software and re-open it. From now on you will see the writing direction buttons on the buttons bar in every massage.
