Title:
  Thunderbird's date format not changed easely

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Won't Fix
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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))
