locale doesn't seem to have an effect for Icedove. My system date today is 25/04/2007, but Icedove shows it as 4/25/2007, which tells me that because I use a US English version of IceDove, it uses it's own settings. Even if I go to Preferences > Advanced > Config Editor and change the location to nl-NL instead of en-US, it does not change the date format. Does it really make a difference as long as you know what day it means? Granted days like 12/04 could be confused for the 12th of April, but really mean the 4th of December. Still, your system should know the real day, and really so should you. Therefore, I am not asking for a fix, rather I am just pointing out the way it is on my system. Frankly I am beginning to get a bit tired of IceDove, and will most likely be searching for a new MUA. Mutt is looking more and more attractive, although Kmail is a strong contender.
