Bug Description
Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
Thunderbird 3.0
Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron - released in April 2008
The inbox shows all mails with column "Date" in the American format.
This format displays mm/dd/yyyy
I couldn't find some easy way to modify the date format.
I tried to find the menu to modify the date format but couldn't find it.
I made some research on the Internet.
It is a fact that too many people were in the same situation .....
searching a solution for what normally never should have been a problem in the first place !!!
Most results were giving solutions with command lines and making changes for which I don't have the necessary knowledge.
Since Ubuntu is Linux "for human beings" .... in ALL countries,
there might still be some hope to find a simple method to display dates in other formats.
It should be possible to display formats like dd/mm/yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd
(for each program installed by the way))
