I don't understand what you mean by "type up an email in Internet Explorer".
Do you mean Outlook Express? Internet Explorer is a web browser, not
an e-mail program.

Anyway, Internet Explorer is broken in displaying bidirectional text.
See
 http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/charset/text-direction.html
 http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/bidirectional-text.html
for some examples where Internet Explorer is wrong and Mozilla is right.

I suggest you try Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird with bidirectional text.
