[OpenIndiana-discuss] thunderbird date display

[russell]

Hi,

Despite configuring the Timezone and Locale for the UK thunderbird 
always displayed the date in US format MM/DD/YYYY instead of DD/MM/YYYY
Today I found an article on how to add an override to Thunderbird to 
display in UK format, however I prefer ISO Date format YYYY:MM:DD.

So if you are interested in knowing how, use the config editor in 
thunderbird to add the following entries, I added the time format as 
well just in case.


intl.date_time.pattern_override.date_short 
yyyy:MM:dd                                              type string
intl.date_time.pattern_override.date_medium type boolean
intl.date_time.pattern_override.date_long type boolean
intl.date_time.pattern_override.date_full type boolean
intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short 
HH:mm                                                     type string
intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_medium type boolean
intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_long type boolean
intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_full type boolean


After adding the entries, restart thunderbird
