 Hello WordPress,
 Thank you so much for changing the world.

 I am using the RTL layout of WordPress and all emails that I receive from
 WordPress, like changing password, reviewing a comment are in LTR
 direction.

 Hope you fix this in the next update or let me know that how can I fix it.

 Regards,
 Rahim

 Hi @rahimvaziri,

 Welcome to Trac! Thanks for opening this ticket.

 I did some testing and confirmed that emails, by default, do not display
 using RTL when sent in an RTL language.

 An easy solution for this would be to add `dir="rtl"` to the `<html>` tag.
 But, WordPress uses `text/plain` for all its emails by default, so this
 won't work unless a plugin filters emails to make them `text/html`. I did
 some searching, but I could not find an obvious solution.
