[Schmirrwurst]

Binary package hint: kontact

Kontact is unable to display properly the dates, it is displaying dates like "DD.10.YYYY"
It append in kmail and in tasks...
I'm using intrepid Beta, kontact 1.3 for kde4

Thanks for the bug report,
To help us reproduce this bug, could you please go to System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Country/Region & Language -> Date & hour and give us your date and time configurations?

I just tested with today's live cd:
* Boot livecd with french
* Changed country in systemsetting's regional settings to france
* Changed the date format via the dropdown menu to DD.MM.YYYY
* Opened Kontact
* Attached to an imap server
* Dates were parsed properly

In fact, even if I change the date format in the menu, the problem is remaining ?? see screenshot

Please try changing the setting some other setting, press apply, and set it to the one you want to use, press apply again.

If that doesn't work it is probably a problem within your Kontact related configurations.

already done, with no effect
