It seems OOo handles inline directionality quite well. I enabled
support for CTL in the 'Tools => Options ... => Language Settings =>
Languages' section. Then I copy-pasted the name from the e-mail. There
seems to be a problem with punctuation, though.
A document at http://www.smi.uib.no/ksv/ArabicProgsx.html#funct
provides more detail.
Hope this can help somewhat somehow.
