Does not work as good as gedit.

"just works" means that it works correctly and not that google form (or your
browser) works a little bit better than some other thing.

When SquirrelMail started in 1999, it was started in Western Europe and US.
iso-8859-1 worked fine there. Later developers added other languages and
instead of forcing one common charset, they allowed translators to choose
interface charset used in their translation. utf-8 was not common then.
SquirrelMail design is old and change is not made due to backwards
compatibility issues. You are free to use SquirrelMail 1.4.8 converted to
utf-8 by some SquirrelMail developers, convert newer version to pure utf-8
interface or find package which looks like SquirrelMail and is already
converted to utf-8.

Again. Please provide details instead of baseless complains.

I would like to make webmail compatible with RTL and even searched for
people who can answer my questions about RTL, but you are not trying to
help. You are only complaining without providing any useful information.
