I may try filing upstream, but reportbug is such a good bug-tracker compared with most other bug tracking systems. KDE's bug tracker seems to hide too much information by default.
Thanks also to the person who emailed me and suggested: [quote] to set the date format that you want, you need to use the en-DK locale to define your LC_TIME environment variable. The following links were informative for me. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Date_display_format http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/international_iso-8601_date_on_thunderbird.html I ended up putting a script in /usr/local/bin for thunderbird with: #!/bin/sh # # ISO 8601 Date extension to Mozilla Thunderbird # must have the locale generated via # dpkg-reconfigure locales # export LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8 /usr/bin/thunderbird If you are missing the locale, you'll need to generate using: dpkg-reconfigure locales as root. [end quote] Don't forget a couple of other "obvious" things: chmod +x /usr/local/bin/thunderbirdIf running KDE, edit the K menu entry for Thunderbird to use the path /usr/local/bin/thunderbird
