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))
