I am the opposite of you, I prefer all my email to be avaialble offline to me. I use offlineimap to mirror my remote IMAP folders, and usually read them with mutt, but occasinaly read them in GUI emacs where the terminal does not support RTL, such as Arabic emails.
I'm quite interested in both terminal emulators and internationalization. Curious if you've tried out mlterm and what issues you might have run into regarding rtl. Actually, I'd be interested to hear any of your stories regarding rtl in cli tools.
sorry just seen this now. I have not tried mlterm, and have not actually heard of it before! I just looked it up and I will defintely check it out.
I love gnome, but on occasions I switch to KDE, where Konsole terminal has better Arabic support.
