Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Ubuntu Dapper, evolution 2.6.1-0ubuntu7
Locale: en_CA.UTF-8
When I reply to an email that was sent on e.g. May 24, 2005, evolution
inserts the following header in front of the quoted message:

I'd expect the month to be before the day. That's also what `date +%F`
would do. In this case the date is not ambiguous. But 2006-09-06 would
be worse. I would read that as September 6, 2006, but it really means
June 9.
I didn't find a way to change the quoted reply header in the Preferences
dialogues or using the gconf-editor so I'm assuming it's hard coded in
the source or gettext files.
Since this confusing date format affects the user (me) and potentially
all people I'm corresponding with, I hope this is considered important
enough to get fixed in Dapper.
