You have no idea of the confusion I cause here when I write a date in this format. However, I am slowly educating the masses :-)
Anything else in an international forum such as this is little other than a disregard for clear communication.
Diverging slightly, have you managed to convince Seamonkey to use ISO 8601? KDE on my system is set to use it, but Mozilla continues to hold out for the archaic way of doing things.
I don't remember whether the format you see above is purely taken from the OS, or if a hidden pref plays a part. It's possible mailnews.reply_header_type may have something to do with it. The time you see above is actually a semi-manual entry. SM lays it out, but the TZ is fixed via hidden pref and I have to adjust it manually before sending or else it looks like the post quoted from looks like it originated in my TZ whether it did or not. -- "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven."
