Bug 1109379 - Thunderbird 60.0 displays wrong date format https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1109379
I like the way you create that bug report stating that because the date FOR YOU is shown as 23-09-2018 and not as 2018-09-23, because YOU prefer to it in the latter form, it is accepted as a bug and will be 'fixed' upstream in v60.2.0 ESR.
However, I prefer the date(s) to be displayed in day/month/year format because this is how it is done/accepted in *my* country and it is how *I* prefer to have the date displayed :-). I hope that the 'fix' will not force everyone's date format to be year/month/day :'(.
What I requested is that Thunderbird prints the date in the format that the user requested, in the locale configuration, if the user tells Thunderbird to respect the user locale. Otherwise, it follows the "Thunderbird application locale", which is "USA". That is, you need: LC_TIME=en_AU.utf8
BTW, I have already provided an answer on how to alter that date format -- at least I can do it quite easily -- but did not get any feedback re what I put forward.
Did you try the above? But it will not work now, till the fix. I do not know if it is following "LANG" either. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))
