Variable alignment for post content in email notifications

    Currently alignment settings for email notifications depend on user account language settings. However, for users who follow both RTL and LTR language blogs, this means some email notifications will have the wrong alignment regarding post content.

    Wouldn’t it be possible that the alignment of the email itself is determined by user account settings, but the alignment of the post content is determined by the language settings of the source blog?

    Thanks.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Let me second kokkieh.

    Email notifications in an RTL language – e.g., Hebrew, Arabic, and Urdu – that come left-aligned look very bad. It seems useful that when WP generates those notifications it would indicate the alignment to the email application.

    Thanks.

    A follow-up – As an academic I’ve encountered a similar problem with Moodle, an open-source course management system. Our IT staff located and embedded a module that adds the standard LTR/RTL alignment buttons to the editor.
    Hope this helps.

    It turns out that WP’s happiness engineers have taken measures to fix the problem. Email notifications in Hebrew are now right-aligned. Thumbs up!!
    One little glitch remains, though. While the paragraphs are right-aligned, the final punctuation mark – usuall a full stop – and if there’s a parentesis then it as well, are not located properly at the end of the paragraph but are thrown to the beginning [on the RHS] of the last line.
    Thanks much for your attention!
