KMail: "Right to Left" (RTL) text

For RTL languages it is important to be able to specify the direction of the text as "right-to-left" in HTML. Note that this is not the same as right-aligning. In thunderbird, you are able to insert HTML tags, such as

<p dir="rtl">
-- here is text ---
</p>

which does the trick. In fact you only need insert the opening "paragraph" tag, the rest is taken care of by thunderbird. No such facility exists in KMail since you cannot insert any HTML tags. The only recourse seems to use the 'Unicode control characters' such as RLE.
