Writing direction

more options

Would appreciate help I just updated to the latest version 115.5.2 Unfortunately, in this version the option button to change the writing direction has disappeared. I also write in a language that is written from right to left and in this version there is no possibility of reversing the direction. I would appreciate suggestions

Try this addon https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/bidi-mail-ui/?src=search

Or if you already have it, update it and restart Thunderbird.
